SUMMARY:Patterns of Settlement in the Cambridge Region
DESCRIPTION:Waving to the neighbours? Patterns of settlement in the Cambridge region during the Roman period \nA Fen Edge Archaeology Group Event \nVillage Hall\, Rampton\, Cambridge CB24 8QA \nSpeaker: Oscar Aldred \nOscar Aldred and his colleagues Christopher Evans and Anwen Cooper recently published an article in the journal Antiquity\, marking the centenary of Cyril Fox’s 1923 book The Archaeology of the Cambridge Region. They explored Fox’s approach to landscape and how perceptions of the Cambridge region’s archaeology have changed over the intervening century. In this talk Oscar will compare Fox’s understanding of the Roman settlement in the region in c. 1923 with what we know now. This will include assessing the impact of the last 30 year’s fieldwork on our understanding of past landscapes\, especially Roman settlement\, and our ability now to compare low- vs high- densities of settlement. This new knowledge is helping us to understand Roman-period settlement and to explore with more confidence the meaning behind the variations in land-use and social relations across a regional and sub-regional level. \nOscar is now based in the Cambridge Archaeological Unit where is involved in writing and research\, alongside landscape-scale developer-led excavations. He studied for his PhD at the University of Iceland and has held academic positions at the University of Iceland and Newcastle University. He has also worked for Historic Environment Scotland\, the Institute of Archaeology\, Iceland\, and Somerset County Council. \nHis main research interests are in landscape archaeology\, excavation\, post-excavation\, and archaeological method and theory\, and the archaeology of the North Atlantic and the UK.

SUMMARY:Life and Times of Henry I
DESCRIPTION:The Life and Times of Henry I – son of William the Conqueror \nHenry I was King of England 1100 to 1135\, the youngest son of William the Conqueror.  He was the first ’Norman’ member of the ducal family to be born in England\, and indeed he was raised here\, until he reached adulthood\, being knighted by his father at Westminster on 24 May 1086. Henry was\, therefore\, unusual amongst English kings: no future king of England would be raised in the country until Henry III (born in 1207). In this lecture\, Stephen Church will explore some of the key events of Henry’s time as king of England. \nA St Kyneburgha Building Preservation Trust Event in Castor

SUMMARY:Must Farm - Home Life
DESCRIPTION:Bronze Age cookery and home life at Must Farm \nSpeaker: Rachel Ballantyne\, University of Cambridge \nThis talk outlines – from sampling to the laboratory – the diverse methods used to reveal microscopic and molecular evidence for home life at Must Farm. Although the settlement was built over a fen waterway\, a significant proportion of the plant and animal resources were brought from dry land elsewhere. When combined\, these strands of evidence give an unprecedented insight into Bronze Age life\, both at home and in the wider landscape. \nAn online talk organised by Peterborough Museum

DESCRIPTION:Wooden artefacts from the Late Bronze Age settlement at Must Farm – specialism\, craft and use. \nAn online talk organised by Peterborough Museum \nSpeaker: Michael Bamforth \nNearly 200 wood and bark artefacts were recovered from the Late Bronze Age stilted settlement at Must Farm\, Cambridgeshire\, during excavations by Cambridge Archaeological Unit between 2006-16. The settlement was destroyed by a catastrophic fire\, perhaps as little as a year after construction\, with the buildings of the settlement and their contents collapsing into the soft muds of the river below. The combined effects of the fire and the rapid burial in waterlogged muds led to exceptional preservation of organic remains\, with many of the wooden artefacts recovered from their original positions in the collapsed buildings. The completeness of the assemblage\, which includes a variety of bowls\, hafts for axes\, gouges and spears\, textile tools and a complete tri-partite wheel\, gives us a rare chance to see the tools used by people 3000 years ago. The artefacts provide valuable insights into how tools were made\, what they were used for and perhaps even who made them.

SUMMARY:The Foods of the Woods\, the animals of Must Farm
DESCRIPTION:The Foods of the Woods\, the animals of Must Farm \nAn Online Talk organised by Peterborough Museum \nSpeaker: Vida Rajkovača\, Cambridge Archaeological Unit \nAmongst the site’s almost clichéd Late Bronze Age domesticity\, the roundhouses and the pots\, a remarkable collection of animal bone was found\, revealing how the community engaged with the environment around them\, the animals and their foodways. From the time of agricultural intensification\, where livestock was reared and food was domestic\, the unusually ‘wild’ Must Farm faunal assemblage casts new light on the domestic life in this swampy landscape. Perfectly captured in time\, the richness of evidence also allowed us to get at how the food was collected\, prepared and consumed. This talk covers the methods and the results of the zooarchaeological analysis\, it explores the food choices and the relationship with animals in the site’s broader setting.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to the Must Farm Pile-dwelling Settlement
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to the Must Farm Pile-dwelling Settlement \nAn Online talk organised by Peterborough Museum \nSpeaker: Dr Chris Wakefield\, Cambridge Archaeological Unit \nThe Must Farm pile-dwelling settlement is one of the best-preserved Bronze Age sites ever discovered in the UK\, consisting of stilted roundhouses built above a river channel that burnt down in a catastrophic fire almost 3\,000 years ago. This talk provides an overview of the site and the 2015-16 excavations\, detailing how archaeologists uncovered the fascinating story of a Late Bronze Age community and pieced together the history of this incredible site.

SUMMARY:Secrets of the Anglo-Saxon Goldsmith
DESCRIPTION:Secrets of the Anglo-Saxon goldsmith: Scientific results from analysis of the Staffordshire Hoard gold \nThe discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard in 2009 led to the development of a cross-disciplinary programme to conserve\, research and disseminate the find. The Hoard consists of the largest assemblage of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver objects\, most of which is battle regalia. \nMost of the material belongs to the sixth to seventh centuries and much is richly decorated with intricate interlace patterns carried out using a variety of techniques including cloisonné garnet and filigree. Many different raw materials were brought together to create the objects in the hoard\, including; precious metals\, garnets\, glass\, organics and other inlays. \nAs part of the wider research project studying the Staffordshire Hoard a ground breaking study of the gold was carried out. The work has revealed more details about workshop practice and from this it is possible to outline some of the decisions made by the goldsmiths in the Anglo-Saxon period to enhance the appearance of the objects. \nSpeaker: Dr Ellie Blakelock \nEllie trained as an archaeometallurgist\, and in 2012 finished a PhD studying Anglo-Saxon and Viking ironworking techniques. For three years she studied the metals in the Staffordshire Hoard. Since this time she has worked on a large number of high profile Anglo-Saxon projects\, such as Rendlesham\, and the Harpole treasure. Ellie is also the director of the excavations of a large Anglo-Saxon malting complex at Sedgeford in Norfolk. \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
