SUMMARY:Domination
DESCRIPTION:DOMINATION: The Fall and Rise of an Empire \nJoin Professor Alice Roberts as she takes us on an investigative journey to establish who spread Christianity\, how and why; the story of the fall of an Empire – and the rise of another. \nCelebrating the publication of her new book\, Domination\, the narrative will lead audiences from a secluded valley in South Wales to the shores of Brittany; from the heart of the Roman Empire in a time of political turmoil to the ancient city of Corinth in the footsteps of the apostle Paul; from Alexandria in the fourth century to Constantinople. \nAs the Roman Empire crumbled in Western Europe\, a shadow of power remained\, almost perfectly mapping onto its disappearing territories. And then\, it continued to spread. Unearthing the archaeological clues and challenging long-established histories\, Professor Roberts tells a remarkable story about the relationship between the Roman Empire and Christianity. \nNew Theatre\, Peterborough \nTickets FROM £37 \nNon-FRAG Event

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?

SUMMARY:Ely Monastery
DESCRIPTION:Late Anglo-Saxon Ely: A Monastery and its World \nA FenArch Event – See Poster Below \nThe monastery at Ely was re-founded around 970\, and rapidly grew to become one of the richest and most revered religious houses in England. This talk will look at how Ely established itself\, and particularly at how it interacted with the society and landscape of the region in the late tenth and eleventh centuries. To do so\, Rory Naismith will consider a range of unusual sources from Ely (including lists of peasants\, agricultural records and guild statutes) which shed light on how the monastery ran its lands and dealt with locals. \nDr Rory Naismith is Professor of Early Medieval English History at the University of Cambridge. He is also a Fellow of Corpus Christi College\, Cambridge. He focuses on the economic and social history of England and its neighbours in the early Middle Ages. Books include Early Medieval Britain c. 500-1000(2021)\, Citadel of the Saxons: the Rise of Early London (2018)\, and Money and Power in Anglo-Saxon England: the Southern English Kingdoms (2012).
