Kings Low and Queens Low Excavation Report launched. by bat400 on Saturday, 15 February 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
This pair of neighbouring Bronze Age burial mounds, near Stafford, were being eroded by rabbits and agriculture before being excavated by Prof Gary Lock of Oxford Uni and the skilled workforce of Stoke on Trent Museum Archaeological Society.

Years of work have gone into compiling a thorough report on the excavation, which is now being published as an impressive and thoroughly illustrated softback, by Archaeopress.

The book was launched at the Learning Suite of the Potteries Museum, Hanley, 7.30 Friday 14th February 2014, where there were illustrated talks by the co-authors Prof Gary Lock and Winston Hollins. The talks covered the geographical and historical contexts of the sites, and the fascinating finds.
