Description: | Around 1200 items were bequeathed by B W J Kent in 1969, including an Egyptian mummy case of 26th dynasty, a collection of glass vessels from the Roman empire and 100 ceramic vessels from ancient Greece. Kent Collection has pottery vessels from South America, ancient Cypriot pottery and Egyptian antiquities - ushabti figures, amulets, stone vessels, wooden sculptures and jewellery.
J R Ogden Collection includes a range of Egyptian antiquities, and a small collection of material associated with the history of writing - baked clay tablets from Mesopotamia with cuneiform script, samples of Egyptian hieroglyphs and some Roman material.
British archaeology is well represented with collections of prehistoric material including stone tools, metal implements and pottery vessels, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and medieval periods, particularly with local material from the 500 square miles of the Harrogate District. Recent acquisitions include a rare Iron Age dagger, a medieval finger ring, pottery sherds from a previously unknown medieval kiln, and a hoard of silver coins dating from the Civil War. | Subjects: | Archaeology | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Swan Road
