Description
The free exhibition celebrates the half-way point of our archaeology programme. It will feature almost 100 finds including a skeleton from the infamous Bedlam psychiatric hospital, a silver Roman coin and 55 million year old amber.
The October exhibition will also display a small section of mammoth jaw bone for the first time.
A series of seminars by expert archaeologists working on the project will take place alongside the exhibition on Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm to 7pm. People will be welcomed on a first come, first served basis.
Exhibition attendees will also have the chance to win an archaeology themed prize donated by Systra.

The Crossrail archaeology programme began in 2009 with archaeologists beginning their investigations at Tottenham Court Road, where they excavated the former Crosse & Blackwell factory site. Since then Crossrail has uncovered finds dating from pre-historic times to the industrial revolution including Roman artefacts and remnants of Britain's industrial heritage.
