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: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: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:Must Farm - Artefacts & Techniques
DESCRIPTION:The excavation of the Bronze Age settlement at Must Farm near Peterborough is one of the most significant in Europe this century. \nBetween 2015-16 a team from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit excavated the remains of a Bronze Age settlement in Whittlesey\, near Peterborough. The site’s archaeology proved to be spectacular and including the remains of pile-built houses and thousands of finds. \nSince the excavation finished over 50 specialists across the UK have been working on Must Farm’s artefacts\, environmental samples and data to understand the site’s use\, occupation and lifespan. This work has involved dozens of different techniques and helped refine our understanding of life in the Flag Fen basin almost 3\,000 years ago. \nThis talk discusses the excavation and focuses on specific artefacts from the site\, including some of its most notable finds such as a complete wheel and hafted axe\, to show how valuable post-excavation work is in enhancing our knowledge of the past. \nSpeaker: Chris Wakefield\, Engagement and Communications Officer\, Cambridge Archaeological Unit \nFREE for FRAG Members \nBackground on Must Farm

SUMMARY:Causewayed Enclosures
DESCRIPTION:Causewayed Enclosures are a form of early Neolithic earthwork\, first appearing between 3700 and 3600BC. They are encircled by one to four concentric ditches with an internal bank. Crossing the ditches at intervals are causeways which give the monuments their name. They are generally interpreted as ritual or communal places rather than for settlement. There are a surprising number of them in the Peterborough area. This talk will tell us more! \nSpeaker: Phil Hill\, Oxford Archaeology East \nFREE for FRAG Members \n  \nBackground information on this website: \nMaxey & Etton Neolithic Landscape

SUMMARY:The Great Heathen Army
DESCRIPTION:Viking Camps and the Great Heathen Army \nFrom AD 865 to 878 the Viking ‘Great Heathen Army’ wreaked havoc on the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Britain\, leading to political conquest and settlement across northern and eastern England. Whilst earlier Viking raids had largely been coastal hit-and-run affairs\, this period saw a change in tactics\, with Scandinavian forces overwintering at strategic locations across the country. Yet despite the pivotal role of the Great Army\, little is known of it: documentary sources provide few insights\, and until now archaeological evidence has largely remained elusive. However\, in the early years of the 21st century\, the locations of two winter camps were identified. \nThese sites at Torksey\, Lincolnshire\, and Aldwark\, North Yorkshire\, have yielded thousands of metal finds\, showing the Army processing loot\, trading\, repairing equipment\, and preparing for upcoming campaigns. The two camps have revolutionised the understanding of the Great Army and other Viking forces\, and tell the story of the early years of the Scandinavian settlement of England. \nSpeaker: Mark Randerson \nMark Randerson is an archaeologist with over thirty years’ involvement in fieldwork\, specialising in the early medieval period. Now based at the Historic Environment Records at North Yorkshire and Durham Councils\, he has recently completed a project with the University of York\, cataloguing and comparing the finds from the two camps. \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

SUMMARY:EXCAVATION - Peakirk Test Pits - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:Sadly\, this event has had to be postponed  \nAn Opportunity to Dig! \nFRAG is joining forces with the Peakirk Archaeological Survey Team to determine whether and where Car Dyke transits Peakirk village green. \nIt provides an opportunity for both FRAG members and those living in the village to participate in archaeological excavation. \nExcavation Strategy \nThis is the first session of the first season of archaeological excavations undertaken as a joint venture with Peakirk Archaeological Survey Team (PAST) within Peakirk\, and is a continuation of previous archaeological investigations carried out by PAST. The aim of this session is to determine whether the Car Dyke transits the village green as suggested by earlier archaeological excavations and ascertain its alignment. Locations of previous PAST test pits in the village green and relative to the geophysical anomaly assessed as the Car Dyke can be found in Attachments 4 and 5 of the Event Information Sheet.

SUMMARY:King’s Lynn’s Great British Dig
DESCRIPTION:How a small field in North Lynn is changing our understanding of the English Civil War \nDuring the summer of 1643 after a short siege\, Parliament recaptured King’s Lynn. Refortified to a design seldom seen anywhere else in the country\, the town became the principal supply base for Parliament’s armies operating in the east and northeast of England. \n380 years later\, King’s Lynn is home to King’s Lynn under Siege (KLuS) a ground-breaking archaeological project\, investigating the town during the ‘English’ Civil Wars\, and uncovering traces of the town’s fortifications. This talk will include the project’s excavations in 2021 (featured in Channel 4’s Great British Dig series)\, and in 2022\, and its investigations in 2023. \nThe project is providing a rare insight into the design and construction of Civil War earthwork fortifications. \nSpeaker:  David Flintham \nDavid is the co-founder and project director of the King’s Lynn under Siege community archaeology project. He is the author of four books\, and more than 60 other papers\, essays\, and articles on 17th century fortress warfare. David is also part of a research project ‘re-discovering’ London’s ECW fortifications\, and has recently created the Civil War Fortifications Register\, a database identifying every place that was fortified across the British Isles during the Civil Wars. A long-time member of the Fortress Study Group\, he now serves on its committee. \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
