Dewa Roman Experience
Dewa Roman Experience submitted by TimPrevett : This single case of (non-local) pre-Roman artefacts is the largest collection of prehistoric items on display in Chester. They can be seen at the Dewa Roman Experience - see the main page for full details. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Museum in Cheshire. The largest collection of prehistoric items on display in Chester is actually at the the Dewa Roman Experience. They help provide an insight into pre-Roman Britain.

The collection is in one display panel late in the tour of the site, consisting of an axe head, palstave, spear head, votive head, several coins and brooches, among a few other items.

Obviously the attraction primarily focuses on Roman archaeology, mostly in Chester.

It also provides an excellent overview of basic archaeological practices, and shows very clearly the stratification of layers of human activity over time with previous excavations under the site being accessible.

A visit is indeed an 'experience' consisting of sights, smells, sounds, and a very good 'hands on' room for children and adults. The smells made national news in January 2003 when a new variety for the Roman latrine actually made several school children vomit! The smell concerned has since been lessened.

There are charges for admission.
