Ancient artefacts illustrating Staverton's rich history have gone on show at the village school.
The items were uncovered last year by archaeologists commissioned to dig exploratory trenches on Blacklands, an area of the village which may soon be developed for roads and housing.
Uncovered within the narrow trenches was a large collection of artefacts spanning thousands of years from the stone age to the mediaeval periods.
The items were unveiled at Staverton School on Thursday as part of the village's Queens Golden Jubilee project.
Project chairman Peter Lavis said: "It is a very interesting collection with several stone age implements, a flint blade and a thumbnail scraper together with a piece of shell tempered pottery.
"These prove our prehistoric ancestors were living on the site around 5,000 years ago."
It is planned to portray the Parish's past and present history with changing displays in the jubilee showcase.
