SUMMARY:VISIT: Milton Hall Mosaic
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS NOW FULL \nFRAG has arranged a rare opportunity to view the Roman mosaic which was discovered in 1821 during excavations in Castor. The mosaic was re-laid in the ante-room to the dairy at Milton Hall. At that time local antiquarian\, Edmund Artis\, was working as House Steward for 4th Earl Fitzwilliam. \nWe will be accompanied by Dr Stephen Upex who will provide background on local mosaics\, Roman villas\, and the role of Edmund Artis in their discovery. \nPhysical space is tight so the maximum number of attendees will be 25. The outline plan is for the us to meet at about 10.30am\, with the option after for a pub lunch. \nFREE for FRAG Members – £5 for Non members \nTo register your interest in joining the visit please complete the application form. Rex Gibson will be in touch with joining instructions by email. \nUntil 18th May priority will be given to applicants who are FRAG members. If we need to limit numbers this will be on a first come first served basis. \nPayment for non members will be collected on the day. \nDr Stephen Upex has written on a wide variety of topics related to British landscape history and archaeology. He has excavated widely and led the 2019 investigation at Durobrivae . Books include the recently published\, Romans in the Nene Valley. Stephen lectures at the University of Cambridge\, is a member of the Chartered Institute for Field Archaeologists and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London.

SUMMARY:The Uluburun Shipwreck
DESCRIPTION:The Uluburun Shipwreck and Late Bronze Age Mediterranean trade. \nPLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE FROM 6TH JUNE TO 27TH JUNE \nFollowing his popular talk about pre-historic Bahrain in 2019\, Michael Olney returns to throw light on a 3\,300 year old shipwreck discovered off the coast of Uluburun\, south west Turkey. \nThe astonishing late 14th century BC shipwreck discovered near Kas by a sponge diver in 1982 has provided a unique insight into the extent and richness of Late Bronze Age trade networks in the Mediterranean. \nThe wreck was excavated over eleven consecutive campaigns of three to four months\, conducted by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology\, totalling 22\,413 dives between 1984 and 1992. \nIt is among the oldest ships ever discovered and contained one of the wealthiest and largest known assemblages of Late Bronze Age items found in the Mediterranean which have been traced back to at least seven different cultures\, including Mycenaean\, Syro-Palestinian\, Cypriot\, Egyptian\, Kassite\, Assyrian and Nubian. \nFully laden cargo of around 20 tons yielded more than 18\,000 spectacular artefacts. The main cargo was of raw materials including approximately 10 tons of primarily Cypriot copper in the form of 354 ‘oxhide’ ingots; 175 of the earliest known intact disc-shaped ingots of glass which were coloured with cobalt blue\, turquoise\, and a unique lavender; A ton of terebinth resin contained in around 150 Canaanite jars\, logs of Egyptian ebony\, ostrich eggshells\, elephant tusks\, hippopotamus teeth\, seashells\, and tortoise shells. \nThere were also luxurious finished goods on board; Egyptian objects of gold\, electrum\, silver\, and stone; Canaanite jewellery; thousands of beads made of glass\, agate\, carnelian\, quartz\, faience\, and amber; and finely crafted figurines and a scarab bearing the cartouche of Queen Nefertiti. \nOther artefacts included ivory cosmetics containers\, a trumpet carved from a hippopotamus incisor\, bronze tools and weapons\, lead net and line sinkers\, netting needles for repairing nets\, fishhooks\, a harpoon\, a bronze trident\, and wooden writing boards and Cypriot fine- and coarse-ware ceramics. \nArtefacts that were personal possessions of the crew members\, such as tools\, oil lamps\, and writing boards\, suggest that the crew were Canaanite and/or Cypriot\, although at least two were Mycenaean. \nThe proveniences of the artefacts suggest that the Late Bronze Age Aegean was part of an established international trade network in which ships sailed the Mediterranean on a circular route from Syro-Palestine to Cyprus\, onto the Aegean\, and occasionally as far west as Sardinia\, then back home via North Africa and Egypt. \n  \nSpeaker: Michael W Olney \nMichael read Archaeology and Ancient History of Western Asia at the Institute of Archaeology\, UCL. \nFREE for FRAG Members
