Dear TAS Members and Friends,

STREET HOUSE Before The Saxons

• NEW EXHIBITION opens Sun 20 July at Kirkleatham Museum
• EXCLUSIVE RECEPTION & PREVIEW for TAS Members and Street House Project Volunteers

This exhibition chronicles the archaeology of Redcar & Cleveland through the excavations at Street House near Loftus between 1979 and 2013.

Whilst many people will have heard about the Royal Anglo-Saxon cemetery, excavated  between 2005 and 2007, there is much more to this area than the Saxon treasure. The exhibition is the prelude to the award-winning Saxon Princess gallery and sets the scene for much of the archaeology of East Cleveland. It will run for one year.

Highlights

An incredible 5000 year journey …

• Neolithic rock art, pottery, flint tools, axe and macehead
• Bronze Age burial urn and Iron Age spear
• Roman jet, beads, coin, pottery and carved phallic stone
• Plus loaned objects from English Heritage and regional museums
