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: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)
