Look into the East Neuk’s past

Archaeologist Peter Klemen will give an insight into the results of the 2016 Anstruther Burgh survey this week.

As well as a look at the study, conducted by Rathmell Archaeology, there will also be the chance to see the Scottish Fisheries Museum’s current exhibition, East Neuk Unearthed: Treasures Of Fife’s hidden past, in a special out-ofhours viewing.

To celebrate the Year Of History, Heritage And Archaeology the museum will travel through time to discover the history that lies hidden all around us and in the earth beneath our feet.

Using objects from its own collections, plus local finds borrowed from National Museums Scotland and other collections in Fife, the exhibition and accompanying events programme will provide lots of opportunities for visitors to get hands on with history.

This exhibition brings together, for the first time, a range of objects found on or near the museum site, once itself an important hub within the town, to illustrate the themes of food and drink, customs and beliefs, trades and occupations and frontiers, which shaped the lives of those who were here before us.

These unique travellers from the past will be guides through the history of the East Neuk.

It runs from 6pm to 7pm on Thursday. Booking is advised – contact enquiries@ scotfishmuseum.org or 01333 310628.
