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:Curious Cures
DESCRIPTION:Curious Cures: Medicine in the Medieval World \nThis month’s FRAG talk  is also the subject of an exhibition at Cambridge University Library. \nMedieval medicine has a bad reputation. It conjures up images of people blighted by disease and ignorance\, living a degraded existence in squalid villages and pestilence-ridden towns\, and subject to the misguided ministrations of physicians or the bizarre remedies of folk healers and charlatans. We commonly think of the Middle Ages as a time of superstition\, blind trial-and-error and devastating mortality…but that’s not the whole story! \nThis talk will describe the complex theories and ideas that guided medieval physicians in their work\, it introduces the many different constituencies who practised medicine at this time\, and it reveals the bewildering array of ailments and illnesses they sought to cure. \nSpeaker:  Dr James Freeman\, Medieval Manuscripts Specialist\, Cambridge University Library \nJames was the Principal Investigator of the Wellcome-funded project\, Curious Cures and is curator of the exhibition Curious Cures: Medicine in the Medieval World\, which is open to all and free to visit at Cambridge University Library until 6 December 2025. Prior to joining the University Library in 2016\, James worked in various capacities in the Manuscripts and Rare Books Departments at the British Library. He also serves as Assistant Editor for the Transactions of the Cambridge Bibliographical Society and as Chair of the Association for Manuscripts and Archives in Research Collections\, which promotes the study\, accessibility and preservation of manuscripts and archives in Britain\, Ireland and further afield. \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
