SUMMARY:FRAG AGM & The Rutland Roman Villa
DESCRIPTION:This month’s talk will be preceded by the FRAG Annual General Meeting. The AGM will commence at 6.30pm with the talk likely to start at about 7pm. \nThe AGM will be an opportunity to report on the state of play at FRAG and vote on our committee positions. We encourage members to take part and make their voices heard. Please see agenda below. \nPLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THIS EVENT \nThe Rutland Roman Villa and Mosaic recently discovered near Ketton \nArchaeologists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the UK\, unearthing the first Roman mosaic of its kind. This remarkable find\, along with the villa complex surrounding it\, has been safeguarded as a scheduled monument by the Department for Digital\, Culture\, Media and Sport (DCMS) based on guidance from Historic England. \nThe uncovering of this rare Roman mosaic and villa complex was initiated during the 2020 lockdown when Jim Irvine\, son of landowner Brian Naylor\, stumbled upon it. Upon contacting the archaeological team at Leicestershire County Council\, further investigations ensued\, led by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS)\, in collaboration with Historic England and Rutland County Council. \nThe mosaic\, measuring approximately 11 meters by nearly 7 meters\, portrays a segment of the legendary tale of Achilles\, making it a unique depiction within the UK. The villa\, believed to have been inhabited during the late Roman period\, is surrounded by various structures including aisled barns and circular features\, hinting at the opulence and classical knowledge of its occupants. \nSpeaker: Dr Jeremy Taylor\, Leicester University \nJeremy’s research pursuits encompass examining rural settlement\, society\, and agriculture during the Iron Age and Roman period in Britain\, as well as investigating the significance of smaller urban centers and\, more recently\, exploring the landscape context and interpretation of hoarding practices. His endeavors extend beyond academic discourse to encompass the practical implications of such research in managing public engagement within intricate historic landscapes\, particularly in the East Midlands region. Jeremy’s proficiency lies in devising comprehensive training initiatives for excavation and field survey participation aimed at local volunteers\, thereby bolstering the capabilities of community fieldwork groups and fostering sustained interest in heritage conservation efforts. \nDue to Easter holidays\, please note that this event is being held at Peterborough Museum (NOT AT UCP Peterborough) \nRutland Roman Villa

SUMMARY:Cows and Crucifixion
DESCRIPTION:Cows and Crucifixion: Excavations at a Roman roadside settlement in Fenstanton\, Cambridgeshire \nExcavations in 2017-18 at Fenstanton\, Cambridgeshire\, on the site of a new housing estate\, led to the discovery of a large\, previously unknown Roman settlement on the Via Devana. One of its functions was as a specialist centre for processing cattle carcasses\, collecting the grease and marrow to produce soap and cosmetics. \nThe skeletons of 48 people were found\, spread across 5 small cemeteries\, with evidence of an unusually high number of illnesses and injuries. Remarkably\, one of the skeletons was found with an iron nail through his heel – only the second time anywhere worldwide that physical evidence has been found of Roman crucifixion. \nThis talk will discuss the settlement’s population and how they lived\, and what may have led to one of its inhabitants being crucified. \nAn hour-long TV documentary about the crucifixion was released in the USA in November\, and is due to air in the UK on BBC4 in 2024. The skeleton of the crucified man will also feature as part of the British Museum’s new ‘Legion: life in the Roman army’ exhibition that opens on 1st February. \nSpeaker: David Ingham FSA MCiFA \nDavid is Archaeological Project Manager at Albion Archaeology. He holds an MA in Classics and an MSt In Professional Archaeology from Oxford University. He is the editor of Bedfordshire Archaeology\, Secretary for CBA South Midlands and East Midlands\, and Chair of the Nene Valley Archaeological Trust. \nPhoto Credit – Adam Williams\, Albion Archaeology \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:Tradition and Transformation in the English Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Tradition and Transformation in the English landscape\, 400-1100 AD \nA St Kyneburgha Building Preservation Trust Event  \nHow did the territories\, fields\, commons and settlements of the English landscapes change over the six centuries between the withdrawal of Roman administration in around 410 AD and 1100\, just after the Norman Conquest? What do the landscapes of territories\, settlements\, fields and commons reveal about what was owed to the Roman (and prehistoric) past\, how much was evolution from that period\, and how much innovation? \nThe evening is divided into two parts. The first focuses the period between about 400 and 800\, the second on that between 800 and 1100. Each part uses place-names\, ecology\, archaeology\, documents\, O.S. and other maps\, geology etc. to bring those past landscapes and the generations of people that made them to life\, aiming to show that landscape history is something everyone can do. \nSpeaker:  Susan Oosthuizen\, Professor Emerita\, The McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research\, University of Cambridge

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.

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: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
