Curator Tour of the Salmonsbury Camp Exhibition
Corinium Museum, Park Street, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 2BX
Inspired art meets archaeology in this Salmonsbury exhibition, which showcases archaeological artefacts from Salmonsbury, Bourton-on-the-Water. There is evidence for activity from the Neolithic and Bronze Age. The camp itself is Iron Age in date with activity continuing into the Roman occupation. Excavations have found Anglo Saxon burials and Medieval Ridge and Furrow. The site was used as the meeting place for the hundred court of Salmonsbury. It is now a farm and nature reserve. The paper archive at the Corinium Museum includes digs from the Thirties up to the 2000s: also revealing some of the story of the Helen O’Neil, a renowned female archaeologist.
The project investigated archaeological and artistic engagement to the historic and natural landscape and includes an engagement day on site. The artists exhibiting are Amanda Steer, Andy Freedman, Caroline Morris, Ffin Coffin Price, Ruth Broadbent and Zoe Ashbrook
Our aim – to bring the archive into the community and the community into the archive.
