SUMMARY:Flag Fen Auger Survey - Volunteers Needed
DESCRIPTION:Flag Fen Auger Survey \nCall for Volunteers \nWhat’s Happening \nBetween Monday 15th September and 3rd October 2025\, archaeologists from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) and Flag Fen Archaeology Park will be carrying out a 3 week survey of the ground around Flag Fen. \nThe aim is to better understand what lies beneath the surface — the layers of soil\, peat\, and gravel that make up the ancient landscape. This information will help us see how the land has changed over thousands of years and how best to care for the Flag Fen Bronze Age monument in the future. \nIf you can spare just a few hours\, between 9am and 4pm (weekdays only) your help will make a huge difference. This is an exciting time to get involved and learn from the experts. \nIf you can commit to a few days in the above time period or have any questions regarding this\, please let David Savory or Lousie Duly\, know on: 01733 864468\, or email on – flagfen@peterboroughlimited.co.uk \nWhat We’ll Be Doing \n\nTaking small soil samples using hand augers (a bit like a big hand drill).\nCollecting samples at 235 points across the area\, about one every 20 metres.\nAuger holes are very small — about the size of a fist (4–10 cm wide).\nAll holes will be backfilled immediately\, leaving the ground as we found it.\nUp to 10 small test pits may also be dug (just 1m x 1m) to double-check auger results. These will also be refilled straight away.\n\nWhy It Matters \n\nBuilds a clear picture of the ancient landscape and how Flag Fen developed over thousands of years.\nInforms future conservation\, flood management\, and heritage protection.\nContributes to wider studies of the Fens\, protecting nationally important archaeology.\nAll support is gratefully received\, whether you can stay for a whole day or just drop in to lend a hand.\n\nWho’s Involved\nThis is a partnership project led by the Flag Fen Futures Group

SUMMARY:CBA Fieldwalking Conference
DESCRIPTION:Fieldwalking: Past\, Present … and Future? \nA Grantham event organised by Council for British Archaeology: East Midlands \nThis conference will examine the achievements of fieldwalking\, take stock of its use today and ask what future it has as a tool for prospection. \nMore specifically\, did fieldwalking privilege certain types of evidence\, like flint scatters? Does the decline in fieldwalking mean that flint scatters and the activities they attest are less likely to be detected? What is the relationship between the decline in fieldwalking and the rise in metal-detecting (which by its nature emphasises the later periods of archaeology)? Why do many commercial archaeologists no longer practise fieldwalking? \nThe conference will aim to highlight past successes of fieldwalking\, but also to address its limitations\, and explore whether it still has a value as a method of archaeological prospection. \nBooking
