00:00I think the exhibition has captured people's imagination, you know, it is so unique, 3,000
00:16years ago all of these items were left and yet here they are in this room and they are
00:24things that we would all at least recognize or relate to, so the food, you know, the platters
00:32that would have had food on it, some of the tools that would have been used to construct
00:38the pottery with, yeah, food residue, the textiles, the beads, it all tells the story
00:46of life 3,000 years ago and since really the discovery I think people have followed that
00:52story and this has been a chance for them to actually see the stuff in the flesh.
00:57And it's captured the imagination so much of the public that you've decided to extend
01:02the exhibition.
01:03We have, so we've been really lucky that we've been able to do that and we've had support
01:07from Historic England to do that and we felt it was important, you know, so many people
01:12have travelled quite a distance to come and see the excavation and, you know, I think
01:17it's so important that people have the opportunity to come and see it.
01:22We want to widen access, we want to bring people into the city as well, you know, Peterborough
01:27has an amazing story to tell and we want to share that with others and having this exhibition
01:35on for a bit longer enables us to do that for a little bit longer, so yeah.
