[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This Undergraduate Research Internship (formerly UROPs) involved cataloguing, photographing and researching small finds (mainly metal objects) from the archaeological excavations at Faccombe Netherton, a Medieval manorial site in Hampshire excavated by the City of London Archaeological Society from 1966 to 1979 which has been the British Museum\u2019s collection since 1985. The project has substantially enhanced the research value of this important medieval archive, with the addition of 903 new photographs and contextual information\/comparative examples.\u00a0 The work will contribute to the registration, and rehouse programmes at BM_ARC as well as the Museum\u2019s \u2018Collection Online\u2019 records, ultimately making the collection more accessible to researchers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our student (Mark Griffiths) received training in object handling and recording alongside experience in collection management and curatorial procedures. The work has the potential to contribute to ongoing and future collaborations around medieval social archaeology, including the theme of medieval lived religion.<\/p>\n
