Following on from a temporary display at the Ure Museum in summer 2019, this digital exhibition weaves the stories of ten 'hidden' women in the Ure Museum's history together with artefacts from the Museum's collection and on loan. Ten short films introduce these women and the artefacts chosen. Narration in the films features extracts from archives at the Ure Museum and the University of Reading.

From skull measurements to ancient DNA: putting John Thurnam’s collection of antiquities in their prehistoric and archaeological context
24 April 2018, 6-7pm
Room 209, UCL Institute of Archaeology


Neil Wilkin (The British Museum) explores the life and intellectual context of 19th century antiquarian and physician John Thurnam, whose collection of artefacts relating to the prehistory of Britain was sold after his death to the British Museum. Through his interest in ancient human remains, he drew conclusions about race and identity; a history that reflects an enduring interest in the DNA of ancient peoples and how that interest ties into modern concerns.

Neil Wilkin's blog post discussing various strands of the talk can be found here.
