SUMMARY:Francis Pryor - Scenes from Prehistoric Life
DESCRIPTION:Scenes from Prehistoric Life:\nFrom the Ice Age to the Coming of the Romans: One Million Years of Life in the British Isles \nWe are delighted to welcome one of Britain’s most distinguished archaeologists and the excavator of Flag Fen. The talk by Francis Pryor will be based on his latest book\, “Scenes from Prehistoric Life”. Attendees will be able to purchase signed copies of the book. \n‘Highly compelling’ Spectator\, Books of the Year\n‘An evocative foray into the prehistoric past’\, BBC Countryfile Magazine\n‘Makes life in Britain BC often sound rather more appealing than the frenetic and anxious 21st century!’ Daily Mail \nFREE for FRAG Members \nFrancis Pryor paints a vivid picture of British and Irish prehistory\, from the Old Stone Age (about one million years ago) to the arrival of the Romans in AD 43\, in a sequence of fifteen profiles of ancient landscapes. Whether writing about the early human family who trod the estuarine muds of Happisburgh in Norfolk c.900\,000 BC\, the craftsmen who built a wooden trackway in the Somerset Levels early in the fourth millennium BC\, or the Iron Age denizens of Britain’s first towns\, Pryor uses excavations and surveys to uncover the daily routines of our ancient ancestors. By revealing how our prehistoric forebears coped with both simple practical problems and more existential challenges\, Francis Pryor offers remarkable insights into the long and unrecorded centuries of our early history\, and a convincing\, well-attested and movingly human portrait of prehistoric life as it was really lived. \nDr Francis Pryor MBE is an archaeologist specialising in the study of the Bronze Age and Iron Age in Britain. He was fundamental to the discovery and excavation of Flag Fen. He has worked extensively in the lower Welland and Nene valleys. Francis is well known for his frequent appearances on the Channel 4 television series Time Team. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Newstead Priory
DESCRIPTION:Newstead by Stamford Priory \nNewstead Priory between Stamford and Uffington was founded by William de Albini III early in the thirteenth century. It was endowed with the local mill\, assorted parcels of land\, and the chapel of the Blessed Mary at Newstead. It operated as an Augustinian priory for the next 300 years. \nThere is documentary evidence for the site and there are intriguing lumps and bumps in the landscape which probably reflect the location of buildings associated with the priory. The precise location and layout of the priory remains uncertain. Interpretation is complicated by the later Stamford Canal which cuts through the site. \nSpeaker: Nick Sheehan\, Uffington based local historian and author \nNick is author of the 2018 book\, “Newstead by Stamford Priory” and continues to search for more clues. \nFREE for FRAG members \nNewstead Priory – More Info

SUMMARY:Saxon Settlement  at Buckden
DESCRIPTION:The Saxon Settlement Excavations at Buckden \nOxford Archaeology recently excavated a 6-hectare rural site south of Buckden\, between St Neots and Huntingdon. Highlights were a large Bronze-Age cremation cemetery and an early to middle Saxon settlement that included exceptionally large and complex examples of a sunken featured building and a hall. \nA rare iron plough coulter (possibly deliberately buried) is evidence for a major shift in agricultural technology and possible ritual deposition. Other finds include glass beads and vessel fragments\, coins including two sceattas and two pennies (both Offa)\, 41 bone combs\, 28 knives\, over 100 loom weights. The quality and range of features and finds suggests this settlement may have been a Saxon estate centre. \nSpeaker: James Fairbairn\, Project Officer\, Oxford Archaeology East \nLong term FRAG members will remember James from the community excavation of the Itter Crescent villa\, and his talk about parts of a Spitfire retrieved from Holme Fen. \nFREE for FRAG members

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

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:DIG: Itter Crescent Villa - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:EXCAVATION: Fane Road Allotments – Itter Crescent Roman Villa \nEXCAVATION POSTPONED \nWe have not been granted the necessary permission by Peterborough City Council to undertake this dig. This is particularly disappointing since we had an agreed outline plan for our investigations\, the work is undertaken in a structured and professional manner\, and we seek to maximise community awareness and involvement.  \nA large Roman villa was discovered in 2011 prior to construction of new houses between Itter Crescent and Fane Road. There  was a community dig in 2014 and since then FRAG has undertaken further archaeological excavations on the Fane Road Allotment Site to ascertain the full extent of the buildings. \nA brief excavation (Wed 25th to Sunday 29th May) will continue to explore the walls unearthed during recent digs. \nThe community excavation gave clues as to the layout of the southern elements of the impressive villa but detailed interpretation of the remains is still uncertain. \nYou don’t need to have experience\, and you don’t need to commit for the full duration. You do need to register in advance by completing the online application form. \nFRAG Members Only\n(though members of Fane Road Allotment Association\, and JIGSAW affiliated groups may also participate)

SUMMARY:Lost Villages of Peterborough & AGM
DESCRIPTION:The evening will commence with the FRAG Annual General Meeting. This is expected to be brief given that we held a deferred meeting for prior years in September 2021. \nWe will then move on to our talk\, The Lost Villages of Peterborough. \nThis lecture shows changes to the villages that have been swallowed up within the built-up area of Peterborough. \nAs Peterborough has expanded so it has engulfed many small villages (such as Orton Waterville pictured above). This talk will help you picture the very different character and landscape of the area which has relatively recently been displaced. \nSpeakers: June and Vernon Bull \nJune and Vernon are keen local historians and founder members of the Peterborough Local History Society. They are enthusiastic collectors of old postcards of Peterborough and have amassed a collection of nearly 3\,500 originals from the late Victorian period to the early 1960s. Since 1988 they have published a series of Peterborough picture postcard books\, as well as other local history titles. \nFREE for FRAG members \n  \nFRAG AGM – Documents\nMinutes of last AGM\nAgenda for AGM on Monday 4th April 2022\nPlease note that although the current officers are all willing to remain in post we would very much welcome the addition of new members to the committee.

SUMMARY:The Water Newton Treasure
DESCRIPTION:The Water Newton Treasure – Religion or Ritual? \nA hoard of 9 silver vessels and 19 plaques was discovered in 1975. The hoard was found on the site of the walled Roman town of Durobrivae and is now housed in the British Museum. What exactly is the Water Newton treasure? \nIt dates from no later than the fourth century AD and many of the objects include Christian symbols. The hoard is widely regarded as the earliest known group of Christian silver. \nPhil Hill will explain where and how the hoard was found – and what it tells us about both Durobrivae and early Christianity in Britain. \nYou can find an introductory overview on our website. \nSpeaker: Phil Hill\, FRAG Site Officer and Assistant Supervisor with Oxford Archaeology East \nFREE for FRAG Members

SUMMARY:Must Farm - The Big Picture
DESCRIPTION:The excavation of 3 late Bronze Age roundhouses took place in 2015 and 2016. Now that the post excavation work is complete and the monographs in the pipeline\, project director Mark Knight is able to tell the full narrative. How were long-established settlements being affected by rising water levels? How did the Must Farm settlement come to be there? How were the people living? How was the settlement destroyed? What parallels can we see in southern Britain – and in continental Europe? \nIt was in the summer of 1999 that decaying timbers were discovered protruding out of the southern face of the brick pit at Must Farm\, between Peterborough and Whittlesey. Investigations in 2004 and 2006 revealed the site to be late Bronze Age (1300-800BC) and to comprise a succession of large timber structures spanning an ancient watercourse. A fleet of eight beautifully preserved prehistoric log-boats were amongst the earlier finds. It was in 2016 that the site hit the headlines and was dubbed “Britain’s Pompeii”. Certainly\, the excavation of 3 stilted roundhouses which burnt down soon after construction – with much of their timbers and contents preserved in the mud below – has greatly extended our knowledge of everyday life at that time. \nSpeaker – Mark Knight\, Senior Project Officer\, Cambridge Archaeological Unit \nFREE for FRAG Members \nNB Please note this is NOT AT OUR USUAL VENUE!\n(But it’s not far away\, there should be plenty of parking\, and it’s a larger room) \nPlease maintain social distancing where possible and wear a face covering if you wish \nGoogle Maps – Paston and Gunthorpe Community Centre

SUMMARY:Peterborough Historic Environment Record
DESCRIPTION:The HER (Historic Environment Record) contains all available information on known scheduled and unscheduled archaeological remains within Peterborough Unitary Authority. Peterborough HER digitally maintains three types of record\, namely monuments of all periods (from finds’ spots to earthworks)\, events (investigative fieldwork such as excavations or surveys) and sources/archives. \nThe HER database is a valuable source of information for anyone interested in researching local archaeology and history. The ways in which it is maintained and accessed has been evolving in recent years. \nRebecca Casa-Hatton will explain how the HER is used by the planning department of the council – and how it can help both professional and amateur archaeologists. \nSpeaker:   Dr Rebecca Casa-Hatton\, City of Peterborough Archaeologist \nFREE for FRAG Members

SUMMARY:VISIT: Sawtry Abbey
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS NOW CLOSED \nSawtry Abbey was a Cistercian monastery consecrated in 1238. The abbey never achieved great prominence but it was visited by Kings\, and in 1536 Catherine of Aragon’s body rested there when her funeral cortege broke its journey from Kimbolton Castle to Peterborough. \nDuring the visit you will be able to relate the remaining lumps and bumps in the landscape to the original design of the abbey. You will also learn about the origins and spread of the Cistercian Order. \nThis outdoor event will involve a stroll lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Walking will be on tracks and an uneven\, largely over-grown field. The presence of cattle mean dogs and under-16s cannot join the visit. There are no toilet facilities.  All participants need to pre-register. Numbers will be capped \nRegistration will open on Saturday 21st August. FRAG members will be given priority until 28th August. Thereafter it will be first come\, first served for all. Register using the form below. \nFree for FRAG Members\n£5 for Non Members (to be collected at the event) \nSince 2016 a project by the Sawtry History Society has been undertaking research including a resistivity survey to verify earlier records of the abbey. The project has been led by Kevin Redgate and Phil Hill who will be our guides for this visit. \nYou can find out more background about the abbey both on the Peterborough Archaeology website – and on the Sawtry Archaeology website where there are a series of “leaflets” available.

SUMMARY:The History & Archaeology of Peterborough Cathedral Square - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:SORRY – POSTPONED DUE TO CORONA VIRUS \nRemember the many months of disruption to central Peterborough when the Cathedral Square fountains were installed. \nThe improvement project by Peterborough City Council initiated in 2008 involved the re-laying of much of the street and pavement surfaces as well as the demolition of the unsightly 1960s “Norwich Union building” which had been home to the post office. This work provided a unique opportunity for archaeologists to observe what lies beneath the modern surfaces. An initial evaluation was undertaken in late 2008 followed by excavation and observation through to August 2010. \nThe archaeology project was undertaken by Northampton Archaeology (now MOLA) and helped flesh out our understanding of 900 years of Peterborough history. \nSpeaker: Stephen Morris\, MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) \nFREE for FRAG Members \nMore Information about Cathedral Square

SUMMARY:WALK – Norman Cross Prison - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:SORRY – POSTPONED DUE TO CORONA VIRUS \nNorman Cross Prison was constructed in early 1797 to house prisoners of the Napoleonic wars. It formed part of a network of military “depots” and with a capacity of nearly 7\,000 it had a major impact on our sleepy\, local towns and villages. \nThe 15 hectare site is to the east of the Great North Road (and now the A1) at Norman Cross\, 5 miles from Peterborough and close to Stilton\, Folksworth and Yaxley. A few fragments of the prison can still be seen\, along with a field of lumps and bumps\, and a memorial to the 1\,770 prisoners who died there before it closed in 1814. \nPaul Chamberlain is a leading authority on the prison. He will explain its history and point out surviving features in the landscape. \nThe walk/talk will take place on Saturday morning. \nREGISTRATION WILL BE NECESSARY – DETAILS TO FOLLOW

SUMMARY:Warboys - An Important Iron Age Settlement
DESCRIPTION:A 7 month project by Oxford Archaeology East has revealed continuous occupation from the Iron Age to late Roman and beyond. The 4 hectare site off Farriers Way in the village Warboys was being investigated in advance of housing development by Bellway Homes. \nThe earliest finds include eight roundhouses\, some of which date back to about 100BC. Evidence of Roman rural industry included a 4.6m corn dryer and kilns. There were also Saxon pottery and beads indicating further evolution of the settlement before it gave way to agriculture. \n“Our archaeological investigations at Farriers Way have revealed a hugely important\, and a hitherto unknown\, settlement that was occupied from the Iron Age\, around 2\,500 years ago\, and throughout the entire Roman period. What makes this site really significant however\, is that we have evidence of early Saxon occupation mingled with the latest Roman remains\, making this a rare example of the Roman to Saxon transition in the East of England.” \nSpeaker: Steve Graham\, Project Officer\, Oxford Archaeology \nFREE for FRAG Members

SUMMARY:From Neolithic to Saxon: Evolution of a North Cambridgeshire Landscape
DESCRIPTION:The A14 improvement project triggered one of the most extensive ever archaeological excavations. MOLA Headland Infrastructure employed some 250 archaeologists to dig more than 40 separate excavation areas spanning 350 hectares\, uncovering new information about how the landscape was used over 6\,000 years\, and about the origins of the villages and towns along the route. \nPrehistoric henge monuments\, barrows and cremation cemeteries. Iron Age farms.  A Roman supply depot and multiple kilns. Saxon settlements including timber buildings. The list of finds is huge. With the investigation phase completed\, post excavation analysis is proceeding on multiple fronts. This talk will provide an update on the what this unique project can tell us about the evolution of the north Cambridgeshire landscape from Neolithic to Saxon times. \nSpeaker: Tony Walsh\, Project Manager\, Headland Archaeology \nFREE for FRAG Members \nNews about the project

SUMMARY:Peakirk Unwrapped: The Archaeology of a Fen-edge Settlement
DESCRIPTION:Peakirk is known for its association with St Pega\, who reputedly founded a hermitage there and gave the settlement its place-name [‘Pega’s church’]. Whilst Peakirk’s history is sporadically-documented from the eleventh-century onwards\, archaeological evidence indicates that the area first was colonised by Neolithic folk and that there was almost-continuous activity in the heart of the present village from the Romano-British period onwards. \nThis talk unveils Peakirk’s story through a combination of archaeology\, architecture\, topography\, maps\, photographs and written sources. It also features the work of PAST [Peakirk Archaeological Survey Team]\, an independent\, self-funding group\, whose recent projects have included re-plotting the route of the Roman watercourse\, the Car Dyke\, dispelling the ‘tradition’ of a Romano-British villa\, rediscovering ‘lost’ buildings and revealing more about Peakirk’s diverse and secret heritage. \nSpeaker: Dr Avril Lumley Prior \nFREE for FRAG Members \nDr Avril Lumley Prior developed an interest in Anglo-Saxon history during her childhood in Sunderland. After accepting a teaching post in Peterborough\, in 1970\, she transferred her attention from Northumbrian to Mercian studies. Upon her early retirement in 1995\, Avril attained an MA and a PhD on historically-based subjects\, both at Leicester University. She is currently conducting research in and around Peakirk and regularly presents and publishes her findings. With her husband\, Greg\, she is a founder member of PAST [Peakirk Archaeological Survey Team].
