Celebrating the Festival of Archaeology 16th – 31st July 2022

South Somerset Heritage Collection is delighted to be participating in this year’s festival celebrating the theme of ‘Journeys’.
We hope you enjoy our short reel showcasing some of our Collection’s highlights. We also have an archaeological theme currently in the Collection’s Yeovil Library Display Cabinet. Samian ware featured on the reel will be on display, plus replica Bronze Age axe heads and even a replica Roman hygiene kit! The display will also feature a model of a hypocaust, a Roman heating system and an exercise book from Yeovil School History Master, Leonard Hayward, which he used to document excavations at Lufton Roman Villa between 1946 and 1952, which is shown in our image.
