Treasures from bronze age on show by Andy B on Monday, 28 January 2008
(User Info | Send a Message)
A hoard of bronze age artefacts unearthed in Northampton have gone on show for the first time.

The 50 items include ingots, tools and axes believed to be 3,000 years old.

The artefacts are on show at the town's museum and art gallery whose experts said they show how bronze age skills in tool-making developed in the area.

The amount paid for the finds was not revealed but most of the money came from grants to help museums purchase items of local historical interest.

Rachel Silverson, from Northampton Museum and Art Gallery, said: "It's only through the efforts of these people that museums are able to purchase items like this and share them with the community."
