Eastbourne Ancestors

A story of life from the bones of the past

Eastbourne Ancestors is a project which resulted in a fascinating exhibition on display throughout 2014.

After archaeological digs, thousands of hours of scientific analysis, investigation, planning and 3D reconstruction, this ground-breaking project revealed the incredible stories of Eastbourne's Ancestors.

Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, this project began in 2012 and is the first time such an extensive examination has taken place on one collection in the UK.
