National Museum Of Wales 2007
In Search of Early Wales
Who were the ancestors of the Welsh? How different were they from current inhabitants? What has changed and what has caused these changes? Archaeology raises fundamental questions about what it means to be human; it searches for traces of our distant past and interrogates a wide range of sources. The stories behind the objects selected in this new exhibition provide glimpses of these remote times, alongside a deeper understanding of the Welsh people’s origins.
The exhibition has a huge selection of objects, many of great beauty. They provide physical evidence of the forces that have changed life and landscape since the first humans walked in Wales. This new exhibition was opened by Professor Mick Aston, emeritus professor at Bristol University and a well known figure from the groundbreaking Channel 4 Series “Time Team”.
