Abstract:
Documents the history of the 5000-piece collection of objects recorded during building operations and its final acquisition, after vigorous debate, by the British Museum in 1856. Its chronological range is 3rd millennium BC to post-medieval, and it includes all manner of types from flints to jewellery and leather shoes. Biographical details of Roach Smith are given and due heed paid to his recognition of the potential value of the artefacts he was rescuing and his attempts to educate people in the uses of archaeology.
