Crossrail archaeology finds
Items discovered during archaeology digs at Crossrail worksites across London have gone on show in a special exhibition.
Bronze Age artefacts unearthed
The Crossrail archaeology programme has also unearthed its first Bronze Age finds - although these won't form part of the exhibition.
Two wooden stakes, cut by early London hunters with an axe, and a hammer stone have been discovered at excavations at Plumstead.
Historians believe these may have been used to build a large network of timber pathways across east London, which may have made it easier for hunters to catch animals living in the lush wetlands some 3,500 years ago.
