The Novium Museum in Chichester, West Sussex has a collection containing stone tools from the Prehistoric Boxgrove site, (the earliest hominid ancestor found in Britain), flint tools from across the district used in the Mesolithic Period, and Neolithic finds from the Trundle and Harrow Hill. There is also a rich collection of Bronze Age hoards, and objects from Iron Age burials.
Chichester is perhaps most famous for its Roman past. Known then as the market town Noviomagvs Reginorum, Chichester was an affluent community in the Roman period and had its own amphitheatre, bathhouse and forum. Artefacts and remains from throughout the district have allowed us to better understand daily life and death in the Roman period. In addition, Saxon burial sites, such as those found at Apple Down, have also left us with an important record of this community of settlers.
