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: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
