SUMMARY:Saxons in the Nene Valley & FRAG AGM
DESCRIPTION:Saxons in the Nene Valley & FRAG AGM \nFRAG Annual General Meeting \nPlease arrive 10 minutes earlier than usual so we can complete the FRAG AGM in good time for our monthly talk. \nThe Agenda for the AGM is shown below. \nSaxons in the Nene Valley \nThe Nene Valley offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of Saxon settlements and the landscape from the late Roman period through to the time of Domesday. The transition from Roman urbanism to Saxon rural settlements is evident in the archaeological record\, particularly in the form of building remains\, cemeteries\, and changes in settlement patterns. By the 9th century\, the region saw the establishment of territorial units such as hundreds and parishes\, which laid the foundation for the medieval landscape we recognise today. The evidence from the Nene Valley thus provides an important insight into the development of Anglo-Saxon society and its administrative structures\, offering a window into both the continuity and change that characterised the early medieval period in England. \nSpeaker: Professor Stephen Upex \nStephen Upex has written on a wide variety of topics related to British landscape history and archaeology and his interests range from Roman and Saxon landscapes and archaeology to medieval open fields systems. He has directed archaeological excavations on Roman and Saxon sites in the East Midlands and contributed to several Time Team programmes for Channel Four. He lectures at the University of Cambridge. Recently\, Stephen has written a series of landscape and archaeological reports and books on sites within the East Midlands and he is currently working on a volume for the Society of Antiquaries on Roman and Saxon landscape in northern Cambridgeshire. \nFREE for FRAG Members \nNon-members welcome – £5 cash\, payable on the night\n(card payment not currently possible) \nANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE FANE ROAD ARCHAEOLOGY GROUP \n7th APRIL 2025 held at University Centre Peterborough \n\nWelcome and Apologies for absence\nMinutes of AGM held Monday 8th April 2024\n(Matters Arising not covered below)\nChairman’s Report on the past year – Julie Gray\nTreasurer’s Report – Tamsin Foster\nElection of new Committee.\n\nRecommendation for amendment to the constitution \nSuspension of the need for a Field Officer and Safe Guarding Officer if or until the Group resumes an active dig. \nNominations for Committee: \nThose offering themselves for re-election: \nChairman: Julie Gray; Treasurer: Tamsin Foster \nMinutes Secretary: Dan Peeroo \nStanding down: Wendy Gamble\, Daphne Mair\, Nick Coneybear \nOther nominees from members attending?
