SUMMARY:Cows and Crucifixion
DESCRIPTION:Cows and Crucifixion: Excavations at a Roman roadside settlement in Fenstanton\, Cambridgeshire \nExcavations in 2017-18 at Fenstanton\, Cambridgeshire\, on the site of a new housing estate\, led to the discovery of a large\, previously unknown Roman settlement on the Via Devana. One of its functions was as a specialist centre for processing cattle carcasses\, collecting the grease and marrow to produce soap and cosmetics. \nThe skeletons of 48 people were found\, spread across 5 small cemeteries\, with evidence of an unusually high number of illnesses and injuries. Remarkably\, one of the skeletons was found with an iron nail through his heel – only the second time anywhere worldwide that physical evidence has been found of Roman crucifixion. \nThis talk will discuss the settlement’s population and how they lived\, and what may have led to one of its inhabitants being crucified. \nAn hour-long TV documentary about the crucifixion was released in the USA in November\, and is due to air in the UK on BBC4 in 2024. The skeleton of the crucified man will also feature as part of the British Museum’s new ‘Legion: life in the Roman army’ exhibition that opens on 1st February. \nSpeaker: David Ingham FSA MCiFA \nDavid is Archaeological Project Manager at Albion Archaeology. He holds an MA in Classics and an MSt In Professional Archaeology from Oxford University. He is the editor of Bedfordshire Archaeology\, Secretary for CBA South Midlands and East Midlands\, and Chair of the Nene Valley Archaeological Trust. \nPhoto Credit – Adam Williams\, Albion Archaeology \nFREE for FRAG Members \nNon-members welcome – £5 cash\, payable on the night\n(card payment not currently possible) \nThe Venue for FRAG Talks is: \nUniversity Centre Peterborough\nPark Crescent\nPE1 4DZ \nWhat3words:  https://w3w.co/grants.liner.slime \nThis is NOT the new university building in the centre of the city\, but is on a shared campus with Peterborough College and is accessed from Park Crescent. \nThere is on-site parking available. \nThe lecture theatre is on the first floor; a lift is available. \nGoogle Map
