Stories From ObjectsAuthor: CAHA Department, UoB
The Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology at the University of Birmingham has access to three specialist teaching collections that are used for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. The Archaeology collection, the Eton Myers collection, and the Environmental Archaeology collection contain hundreds of objects. In this podcast, we will explore each of the collections and select objects to discuss with specialists and students from the department. Each object in our collections has a story to tell, and we intend to introduce these objects and stories to a wider audience.
