The hugely important archaeological finds in the Wessex Gallery include the Stonehenge Archer, the bones of a man found in the ditch near the stone circle – one of the arrows found alongside probably killed him. With gold coins dating from 100 BCE and a Bronze Age gold necklace, it's a powerful introduction to Wiltshire's prehistory.
