Description: | The largest part of this archaeology collection is decorative Cypriot domestic pottery from the Phoenician period (c.800-500BC).

Pottery from ancient Mesopotamia (now Iraq)

Wolverhampton was one of many British museums to receive donations of archaeology from the Brassey family in the early 1900s. The family undertook excavations in many parts of the world, and brought the treasures they unearthed back to Britain. Donations from other individuals have enhanced the collection.
This collection is not currently on display, but has been used by researchers and for education projects.
