Staff from the Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM) will visit Exeter Airport on Wednesday (10 February) for a journey back in time. The Museum will use the airport's x-ray equipment to see what is inside a 2000 year old urn found during a recent dig in Cullompton.
The history of Cullompton is being rewritten following the discovery of a large and well-preserved Roman site. The discovery happened during construction work, now local expertise is being harnessed to paint a detailed picture of the Roman presence. Many of the finds are being conserved by experts at RAMM and the contents of one of the pots, an extraordinary black burnished ware urn that is too large for RAMM’s machine, will be X-rayed at Exeter Airport.
Anne Carlton, Terminal Manager at Exeter Airport, said ‘Exeter has a state-of-the-art advanced cabin baggage detection machine and we are delighted to be able to make an exception for the museum and help out with this historic event.’
