In Conversation: Understanding Prehistoric Lives Beyond Conflict

The exhibition curator of Scotland’s First Warriors at the National Museum of Scotland, Dr Matthew Knight, is joined by Tristan Hughes, television presenter, author and history podcast host, and Nicole DeRushie, historian and author of ‘Bog Fashion’, to discuss the archaeological evidence that tells us about life beyond conflict in prehistoric Scotland.

In a conversation chaired by Tristan Hughes, the experts will explore both what has survived and what is missing from the archaeological record and how this evidence impacts our understanding of what life was like for people living in prehistoric Scotland. What objects shaped everyday life, and how did conflict and violence disrupt this?
