Ashley Almeida, Time Truck Education Officer reflects on last weekend’s visit to the Olympic Park and showcasing 5000 years of this history of the area.

We’ve been busy over the last weekend in Stratford helping people to engage with some of the history of the Olympic Park in partnership with International Quarter London, who recognise the immense value of telling the story of archaeology in the Park and generously supported the event.

On Saturday we opened to the public to showcase about 5,000 years of human activity in the area with finds ranging from bronze-age pottery sherds to moralising china from the mid-19th century.

Also on display were some pieces of our handling collection which proved very popular with the public, both young and old alike.
