Join Tess Machling and Roland Williamson to find out about the riddle of the ‘Pulborough Area’ torc.
This lecture will look at the ‘Pulborough Area’ torc, which was found in Sussex in 2019. At first glance it appears Iron Age, but is it really? As well as in depth examination of the torc, our speakers will present a surprising – and entertaining – tale of early 20th century archaeological shenanigans with extra added ghost hunters!
Booking can be made via Bristol Museums website
