Upcoming lectures

Friday 24 April
The archaeology of the Flag Fen Basin – a top-down to bottom-up perspective
Mark Knight - Archaeologist, Cambridge Archaeological Unit

This talk presents forty-four years of investigation as an archaeological odyssey around the Flag Fen Basin. Our journey begins with the discovery of Flag Fen in 1982, and the work of the Fenland Archaeological Trust (the first twenty years), and continues with a detailed tour of the Cambridge Archaeological Unit’s excavations at Bradley Fen, Horsey Hill and Must Farm (2000-2025). Our voyage ends back at Flag Fen, bringing all that we have gleaned along the way, and with it perhaps, a change in perspective regarding how we interpret the Flag Fen post-alignment and platform.
