Gold from the Time of Stonehenge
Monday 20th October, 6pm BST
Speaker: David Dawson (Wiltshire Museum)
David will be talking about the amazing objects buried with the people who lived and died at the time of Stonehenge. William Cunnington, a pioneer of archaeology, excavated 200 Bronze Age burial mounds in the Stonehenge landscape and across Wiltshire. The objects have been the subject of research for 200 years since they were excavated, and current research is still revealing new information, including details of links across Europe and details of stunning craft skills.
David is Director of the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes, run by the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society. Finds from the Museum were featured in the recent Stonehenge exhibition at the British Museum and are also on loan to the Stonehenge Visitor Centre.
