AN exhibition at a Durham museum is giving visitors insight into the work of archaeologists.

Durham University's Old Fulling Mill Museum of Archaeology is staging Scraping The Surface, which features the work of archaeology photographer John Sunderland.

A museum spokesman said: "This unusual exhibition of black and white photographs charts the work of archaeologists in the field. It looks at the processes of excavation and the working lives of archaeologists themselves."

The exhibition runs until Friday, September 22. For details call the museum, which is at The Banks, near Framwelgate Bridge, on (0191) 3743623.
