Archaeology in Warwickshire

Archaeology is the study of the human past through material remains. This includes objects made by people in the past - such as tools, weapons, jewellery and pottery - and traces in the landscape of settlements, burial grounds, ritual and military sites. Archaeology enriches our lives because of its capacity to inform our view of the contemporary world and its scope to stimulate the imagination.

In Warwickshire there is evidence of human occupation spanning the last half-million years. Click on the titles below to find out more.
