The Teaching Legacy of the Clachaig skull

The Hunterian museum at the University of Glasgow is home to thousands of artefacts. Individual objects vary from roman coins to modern medical equipment. As well as being interesting, the objects in the museum are used by experts from different subjects to teach students, conduct research, and learn more about the world. In this video we are taking one example to show you the different ways in which people who work in a university can use the same object in a museum to teach and learn. It’s a skull from Arran that is 4500 years old.
