Unlocking the Past
The Archaeology of Aggregate Sites in Worcestershire
Unlocking the past is an initiative made possible
by a grant from English Heritage through the Aggregates Levy
Sustainability Fund. It celebrates, and gives account of, the many
important archaeological discoveries that have been made within
quarries by quarry workers and archaeologists, from the early 19th
century onwards.
The grant has given Worcestershire's Historic Environment and
Archaeology Service the opportunity to build this internet
resource, so that the wider community has access to the story that
these discoveries tell of human occupation in the region from
prehistoric times to the present day.
The website also provides many links to other
heritage organisations, to research and conservation groups, to
schools and universities, to museum and archive collections, and to
local community groups who are not traditionally connected to the
world of archaeology.
