All boxes will be sterilised and quarantined for at least 72 hours before being loaned out to ensure they are COVID safe. A full catalogue of the collection is set out on the following pages. Many of the objects lend themselves to handling sessions. They do not have information labels attached, since this can limit exploration and deduction by those using them. Instead, you will find a set of Teachers' Notes with each box. Boxes can be collected from the Museum during normal opening hours (10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., Tuesdays to Saturdays). Please ring in advance so that we can have them ready for you. Returned loans should be handed in at the Reception Desk at any time during Museum opening hours, on or before the due date. Please return them promptly, so that other schools and groups can benefit. We reserve the right to withhold individual items for use in exhibitions or handling sessions when necessary. We hope that you will enjoy using the collection and look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions for future improvements. 3 Loan Box 1: The Ancient Greeks Contents Teacher’s notes Greek amphora (copy) Theatrical masks (copies) Greek spinning top (copy) Wax writing tablet and stylus Hermes bust (copy) Spartan helmet (copy) Owl (copy) Greek discus (copy) Greek warrior (copy) Greek water clock (copy) Knuckle-bones game (copy) Greek women’s costume (copy) Ancient Greece daily life photo pack Greek coins (copies) Project pack (26 items) 4 Loan Box 2: Egyptians Contents Teacher’s notes Earrings Basket Protective devices postcard Cooking pot The Hieroglyphic Alphabet Loofah Egyptian jewellery (7 laminated sheets) Papyrus picture of a vine Embalming set Papyrus picture of ploughing Book: Look Inside an Egyptian Tomb Canopic jar set Egyptian writing set Hunting postcard Clay beads Wall chart of Ancient Egypt 5 Loan Box 3: Romans Contents Teacher’s notes Photographs: Samian Bowl, Greyware, Roman Kitchen Clay lining fragment from Mavins Kiln Magnetic Roman Soldier Roof tile fragments (2) Copy of a stamp from a Roman tile fragment Cooking pot rim 8 laminated postcards Samian Ware pottery sherd Roman Game:Tabula Pot ‘waster’ (2) Part of rim from a large polished vessel Oyster spoon (copy) 2 pieces of pottery rim from Alice Holt Oil lamp Sponge 7 Roman postcards from Dacia Roman doll Iron Nail Roman writing tablet Alice Holt Ware replica bowl 6 Loan Box 4: Romans Contents Teacher’s notes Flue tile fragment Flagon Postcards: Romans in Dacia Part of rim of a large storage jar 2 pieces of grey Alice holt ware Replica of Roman coins: Augustus, Part of the rim of a large vessel of Hadrian & Constantine polished dark grey fabric Photographs: Laminated pictures of Postcards from Roman Britain Roman homes and pottery Iron Nail Oil lamp Sponge Spindle Fragment of a roof tile Mortarium For extra loan with the Roman boxes (please request) Information panels: Romans in the South of England or Romans in Farnham Toga (copy) Mortarium and also girls’ and boys’ costume 7 Loan Box 5: Medieval Life Contents Teacher’s Notes Book: Food and cooking in Medieval Britain Magnetic Knight Teaching Pack: South Park Medieval Homestead Rush light and candle holder 5 postcards Horn beaker Medieval tiles from Waverley Abbey Drop spindle (replica) White Monks cowl and scapula (copy) and white ties and lavender Medieval Green ware from Farnham Castle Book: Life in a Medieval Abbey Cooking pot rims Book: Teacher’s Guide to Using Abbeys For extra loan with the boxes (please request) Local history boards on: Waverley Abbey, Castles Wall Chart, Farnham Castle.
