Welcome to the Material Cultures of the Past research group site
MCP brings together Historians and Archaeologists internationally recognised for their research and practice in cultures and material cultures of the past, from the prehistoric to the modern world. Our activities engage and co-produce research with heritage and cultural organisations and museums. We generate world-leading publications, exhibitions, community projects, and educational and policy recommendations.
