ANCIENT artefacts discovered at Throckmorton airfield, near Pershore, will be put on display for the public.
People visiting Wychavon District Council's Civic Centre, Queen Elizabeth Drive, Pershore, will be able to see rare late Roman pottery, jewellery and coins, along with plans showing a Bronze Age cemetery.
Malcolm Atkin, from the Worcestershire County Council's Archaeological Service, is to give a free talk at the centre on Wednesday, May 30, at 7.30pm.
He will talk about the airfield's rich archaeological history, which stems from 2000BC.
It was earmarked as a burial site for animal carcases by the Ministry of Agriculture, and is now the final resting place for more than 110,000 animals.
"The scale of the work has given us the opportunity to be able to interpret the landscape as a whole, linking the land between Pinvin and Throckmorton," said Mr Atkin, county archaeological officer.
"The excavation itself turned out to be one of the most interesting projects undertaken by us recently.
"It was quite a remarkable operation."
The talk will last 45 minutes and will be followed by a question session.
