Forget thee? No!: The Grave Goods of St James’s Burial Ground - TALK
This FREE TALK is part of the Stories of St James’s exhibition - it's for all the family & explores discoveries made during HS2 excavations
Date and time
Location
St James's Piccadilly
197 Piccadilly London W1J 9LL United KingdomAbout this event
From clay pipes to pocket watches, hair combs to slippers, hundreds of personal items were found during HS2 excavations at St James’s Burial Ground, near Euston. These finds tell the stories of individual people and reveal how the dead were commemorated and remembered. They also give fascinating details of life in London during a time of rapid urbanisation and social change.
Join MOLA finds specialist Michael Marshall, as we present some of these fascinating artefacts to the public for the very first time. As part of this 1 hour talk, you’ll discover how ground conditions on the site helped preserve some incredible organic items, including wood and clothing and discuss the finds in their cultural context. There's also an opportunity to ask our archaeologists further questions!
