Museum in Surrey.
Haslemere Educational Museum is one of the largest Natural History Museums in central southern England with over 240,000 specimens, along with over 140,000 Human History artefacts from around the World, including a British Archaeology collection from a Mesolithic and Neolithic site on Blackdown, West Sussex.

There are three large permanent galleries for Geology, Natural History and Human History artefacts, also with three temporary exhibition rooms, a library and a dedicated education room for people of all ages.

The majority of the British Archaeology collection is comprised of British flints. A particular highlight is the Allen Chandler collection of flints from a Mesolithic and Neolithic site on Blackdown, West Sussex. This collection contains a wide range of flints (axes, blades, microliths, flakes, scrapers, etc) with a wide range of uses, from animal skinning to tree clearing.

Modern technology uncovers Black Down’s hidden past by bat400 on Tuesday, 26 August 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
Airborne laser scanning may have revealed an ancient hill fort and burial mound near Haslemere. Sarah Bain, chairman of the Black Down & Hindhead Supporters of the National Trust and a trustee of Haslemere Educational Museum, explains

A fascinating insight into the archaeology and earliest human use of Black Down, the beautiful natural wilderness on the Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire border, has been uncovered by a new form of airbourne scanning.

While this prominent outcrop is thought to have been used by humans perhaps from as early as the Mesolithic period 12,000 years ago, very little detail is known about any early human activity here.

So the National Trust, with initial funding from the Black Down & Hindhead Supporters, teamed up with University College London to undertake a full archaeological survey of Black Down.

They have made use of LiDAR, a new form of airborne laser scanning, developed for aerial surveys of otherwise inaccessible landscapes.

In particular the team was interested in circular earthworks near the Temple of the Winds, which may indicate Bronze Age burial sites, and a possible Iron Age settlement area lower down the hillside at Castle Copse.
