EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the year 1961, where two history students embarked on an extraordinary journey at the ruins of the Norman Abbey of Newminster in Morpeth. With their passion for archaeology and a thirst for uncovering ancient secrets, these young scholars unearthed the remains of a 14th-century man. The image showcases Robert Barker delicately brushing away soil particles from the skeleton, revealing fragments of a forgotten past. As he meticulously works his way through layers of earth, one can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that filled the air that day. This discovery was not made by chance but rather during extensive excavations led by a team of twenty archaeologists hailing from Durham University and the Newcastle Society of Antiquarian. Their collective efforts brought forth invaluable insights into our historical heritage. As we gaze upon this photograph, it serves as a reminder of how education intertwines with our quest to understand human existence throughout time. The skeletal remains represent more than just bones; they symbolize lives lived centuries ago and stories waiting to be told. Let us marvel at these dedicated students who have become custodians of knowledge, unearthing mysteries buried beneath layers of soil. Their work sheds light on our shared past while igniting curiosity about what lies hidden within other ancient sites around the world.
