Peterborough’s earliest people

Leading archaeologist Dr Francis Pryor will officially open Peterborough Museum’s new-look archaeology gallery featuring ‘Peterborough’s First People’ on 11 February at 2pm.

Dr Pryor, who discovered the internationally important Flag Fen Bronze Age site in Peterborough, gained national recognition for his television appearances on 'Time Team' and as presenter of the 'Britain BC' and 'Britain AD' series.

The Museum's archaeology gallery has undergone a one-year refurbishment financed by English Heritage, the Esme Fairbairn Trust, the Garfield Weston Foundation and the Friends of Peterborough Museum.
