Rhein-Main Universitäten (RMU)

The Pre- and Protohistorical Teaching Collection of the Institute for Ancient Studies includes Palaeolithic stone tools, copies of pre- and protohistorical objects (especially ceramics), finds from the Mediterranean region, Roman objects from Mainz (on loan) and early modern pottery waste. The collection was founded in the early post-war years with purchases from the collection of the Lower Saxony historian Heinrich Spanuth (1873-1958) and subsequently expanded through further purchases and donations.
