AAAHS@50 Fifty years of AAAHS (1968 – 2018)

In 2018, Abingdon’s archaeological society celebrated its 50^th anniversary. An exhibition about the Society and its work was held in Abingdon Museum to mark the occasion. 

Below, you can see four panels from the exhibition, illustrating different aspects of the archaeology of Abingdon. Click on each panel for a high-resolution image.

Abingdon has an extremely rich archaeological heritage, reaching back to the first hunter-gatherers in the area around 200,000 years ago. The panels look at four different topics, each reflecting excavations and discoveries by the Society.
