Wed 3 Jul, 1-2pm. On the first Wednesday of the month, join our series of guest speakers for lunchtime conversations discussing key objects from the collection.

'Ploughman’s Hunch – the Mystery of the Plough Pebbles Solved?'

In the collection of the Manchester Museum are some pebbles. Quite ordinary pebbles that you might find in your garden. Except that these pebbles have strange wear patterns on them.

Join Curator of Archaeology Bryan Sitch for the story of what the pebbles mean and their link to one of the bitterest archaeological rows of the 20th century.

Please book on 0161 275 2648 or museum@manchester.ac.uk as spaces are limited.

Price: Book on 0161 275 2648 or museum@manchester.ac.uk, free
