This small, rather damaged child's plate is a recent find. It was excavated in the centre of Cambridge in the mid-2000s.
It features two alphabets, British Sign Language and English, and hints at the rich and complex history of Deaf culture not often explored in archaeology museums.
Eleanor Wilkinson, Teaching and Collections Assistant for Archaeology at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA), tells us more.
