Thursday 12 November Wednesday 23 December and                       Monday 1 February 2010 Saturday 20 February. Treasures from the Earth -

A touring exhibition featuring local archaeology in the South West and artefacts specific to Tiverton. These include some of the oldest pottery ever found in Devon, discovered during work on a new housing development in Waylands Road in 2007. The experts date the pottery to the early Neolithic period, between 4,000 and 3,500 BC.

There are fun things to do including making a Roman mosaic with small squares called tesserae; sorting the archaeologist's finds into pottery, stone or bone, or discovering how ancient sites look from the air.

The project is an initiative of the Renaissance Archaeology Group, funded by HLF and Renaissance in the Regions.

Unless otherwise stated, admission charges for the exhibitions only are adults £1.00, children 0.50p
