A number of artefacts dating back 700 years are on display at a museum in Hull.
The objects were discovered during a community dig on the former Clarence Mill site in the Drypool area of the city last year.
The exhibition, called At the Heart Of Drypool – One Year On, is at the Streetlife Museum in the city.
The dig was organised by Humber Field Archaeology (HFA) as part of a multimillion-pound regeneration project.
HFA archaeology manager Peter Connelly said: "This is all about telling Hull and Drypool's story. It's a story of all of us, and a story of community engagement and public benefit. It's everybody's past.
"We're so happy to be able to share it with everybody."
The exhibition is on until 9 November.
