SUMMARY:William Daniell's Voyage Round Great Britain: life at the coast 200 years ago
DESCRIPTION:PROFESSOR TOM DAWSON\, UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS \nExactly two hundred years ago\, William Daniell published the final part of his eight-volume ‘Voyage Round Great Britain’. He’d started his journey in 1813\, and over the course of ten years\, created 308 drawings as he travelled the entire coast. More than half of his hand-coloured engravings were of Scotland\, and he recorded landscapes that was being transformed before his eyes. His detailed images show natural features\, coastal industries\, harbours and lighthouses\, depicting what was new and pioneering for the time. His fascinating illustrations were accompanied with engaging text\, presenting stories of current events including shipwrecks and smugglers\, sea bathing and American privateers. This talk will show how Daniell’s work remains relevant\, helping us understand changes to coastal lifestyles and the environment over two centuries.

SUMMARY:Exceptional\, massive\, significant\, mysterious! Close-up on The Melsonby Iron Age Hoard
DESCRIPTION:DR SOPHIA ADAMS\, British Museum\, tells the story of a remarkable find. In December 2021 a metal detectorist reported a possible in-situ deposit of Iron Age metalwork in a field in North Yorkshire. Investigation by Durham University and The British Museum\, with support from Historic England\, revealed an exceptional discovery. What at first appeared to be a small cluster of items turned out to be one of the largest hoards of Iron Age objects ever uncovered in Britain and Ireland. When the find was made public in 2025 the story quickly spread: from ‘The Northern Echo’ to the ‘New York Times’ to the ‘Sri Lankan Guardian’ the discovery captivated audiences across the globe. Consisting of the ironwork from at least seven vehicles\, ornate horse harness pieces\, cauldrons\, spears and more\, this 2000-year-old deposit is astounding. In this presentation we will explore the deposit together\, marvelling at the objects\, peering through x-rays and discovering how these items were buried and how they are creating the opportunity to review past understandings in new light.

SUMMARY:Rising Damp; the life and times of Black Loch of Myrton\, an Iron Age wetland settlement in SW Scotland
DESCRIPTION:DR ANNE CRONE\, AOC Archaeology\, will be talking about how long-running excavations at Black Loch of Myrton in Dumfries and Galloway have transformed our understanding of Iron Age life. Initially thought to be a crannog\, the site is actually a settlement built on a natural promontory\, without artificial foundations and accessed via a natural causeway. The settlement was built with large quantities of oak\, making it possible to precisely date the development of the site using dendrochronological analyses\, from its primary construction in 435 BCE to its abandonment in the 2nd century BCE. The settlement consisted of a cluster of roundhouses within a palisaded enclosure\, the extraordinary preservation providing detailed evidence for Iron Age settlement architecture\, organisation and function. A suite of environmental proxies have helped to interpret the deposits\, including macroplant\, insect and faunal analyses\, micromorphology and faecal steroids\, as well as studies of the artefacts which include a unique wooden bowl. Anne will be presenting the wealth of evidence for building and living in the Iron Age at Black Loch and discussing how the site contributes to our knowledge of Iron Age settlement.

SUMMARY:Settlement and society in Argyll and the southern Hebrides\, circa 800BC to circa AD1300
DESCRIPTION:DR RUSSELL Ó RÍAGÁIN\, University of St Andrews\, takes a settlement-based approach to the social processes at work in mid-west Scotland between the Early Iron Age and later Middle Ages\, which saw the rise and dissolution of the Dál Riata overkingdom and the emergence of Innsi Gall and Airer Gáedel. Based on a ten-year research project\, such a time-sweep enables full treatment of the continuity of use of certain forms of settlement and portable material culture\, while also drawing into stark contrast the changes at work. The physical evidence covered will include the distributions in space and time of Atlantic stone roundhouses\, multiple forms of settlement enclosures\, crannóga\, ecclesiastical sites\, unenclosed settlements\, castles and more\, with burial evidence and placenames also brought into the mix as proxies. The talk will conclude with a discussion of how this evidence can be used both to inform political history and to explore shifting social\, economic and religious practices over the long term.

SUMMARY:The Backside of the Bones: an analytical study of Shang Dynasty oracle bones
DESCRIPTION:ANTOINE RUCHONNET\, Addyman Archaeology \nLifting the veil of the future has been a concern for humans from the omens of ancient Mesopotamia to computer-generated horoscopes. As a method\, Shang divination of the 13th and 12th century BCE is outstanding in its sophistication\, elegance\, and organisation. Based on the interpretation of controlled cracks on animal bones and turtle shells\, Shang kings made predictions about the outcome of battles\, the weather\, childbirth\, sickness\, and more. Once made\, the prophecies were carved into the bones for record keeping\, providing the earliest testimonies of Chinese writing. \nThe National Museum of Scotland holds around 1\,300 Shang oracle bones\, the largest collection in Europe and second largest outside of Asia. In this talk\, Antoine presents the results of research on the bones to understand how the divinatory cracks were made\, how the diviners achieved such control over them\, and what preparation the bones were submitted prior to their use. The research was carried out in collaboration with the Museum and researchers at the University of Edinburgh\, who studied the backside of bones in the museum’s collection using non-invasive techniques (such as X-ray fluorescence\, scanning electron microscopy\, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy)\, and conducted experiments to recreate the Shang divination process.

SUMMARY:Guess who’s coming to dinner? Ceramic form and style in medieval and post medieval Scotland.  A reflection of dietary change and external influence
DESCRIPTION:DEREK HALL\, University of St Andrews takes us into Medieval Scotland through its pots. \nMedieval Scotland always looked towards Continental Europe for its trade and contact and this is probably best ex­pressed in William Wallace’s ‘Lubeck letter’ of 1297 after his victory over the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge telling everyone that Scotland was open for business again. This strong relationship is reflected in the wide range of imported pottery that is recovered from excavations in the burghs and monasteries of what was a vibrant independ­ent Kingdom until its Union with England in 1707.  This paper will consider the results of more than 40 years of archaeological excavation\, largely in advance of development\, and assess what sorts of vessels are represented\, where they are coming from and how they got to Scotland.  Recently excavated assemblages from fieldwork in Glencoe and at Lindores Abbey in Fife will also be discussed.

SUMMARY:From woolly rhinos to Romans: discoveries on one of Britain’s biggest excavations: the A14 in Cambridgeshire
DESCRIPTION:DR ALEX SMITH\, Headland Archaeology presents some of the astonishing discoveries made during the UK’s biggest road upgrade. \nRich Roman farmsteads\, an abandoned medieval village\, Bronze Age cemeteries\, a number of Neolithic monuments and even mammoths and woolly rhinos are among amazing archaeological discoveries that were uncovered by MOLA-Headland Infrastructure during Highway England’s £1.5bn A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon road improvement scheme. In total\, our archaeologists excavated around 350 hectares – an area around half the size of Gibraltar – between 2016 and 2019\, making it one of the biggest and most complex archaeological projects ever undertaken in the UK. We had 250 archaeologists on the ground\, digging more than 40 separate excavation areas\, and uncovering new information about how the landscape was used over 6\,000 years and about the origins of the villages and towns along the A14 in Cambridgeshire today.

SUMMARY:What sulfur isotope analysis can tell us about population mobility in prehistory
DESCRIPTION:PROFESSOR DEREK HAMILTON\, SUERC\, University of Glasgow takes us on a journey into the fascinating world of the application of isotope studies in archaeology. In the past 10 years sulfur isotope analysis has become increasingly used to investigate the movements of prehistoric people and animals. Sulfur isotopes preserved in bone and teeth collagen give us insights into the geology and coastal proximity of where an individual lived\, as well as diet\, and refined sampling  techniques are extending our ability to reconstruct mobility throughout an individual’s lifetime\, rather than ‘one off’ movement. \nThis paper presents the differential approach to sampling for sulfur isotope analysis applied to human and animal populations from Middle Iron Age (~400–200 cal BC) sites in Wessex and East Yorkshire\, England. It presents insights gained not only on the archaeological questions about movement and mobility in these past populations\, but perhaps more importantly on how the data are interpreted. We have learnt that underlying geology strongly influences the final sulfur isotope value from a sample\, and so statistical tools can be used to begin to robustly model the expected prehistoric values for specific geologies that can then be applied to other unknown datasets.

SUMMARY:Traces of humans in the Ice Age landscapes of southern England
DESCRIPTION:PROFESSOR MARTIN BATES\, University of Wales reviews the evidence for the earliest people in southern England. \nEvidence of early human occupation in southern England began to appear in the mid-19th century and by 1900 a number of sites were known in an area of the country south of a line between the Severn and the Trent.  Towards the end of the 20th century significant changes in our understanding of this record came about through new excavations at existing sites and the discovery of new sites such as Boxgrove\, Pakefield and Happisburgh.  Today we have a record that spans perhaps 1 million years of intermittent activity that is controlled in part by the major changes in climate and where the contemporary landscape was dramatically different to that of today.  Despite the progress in understanding this record the traces of the humans themselves is still thin on the ground and many\, major\, challenges still face the Palaeolithic archaeologist of the 21st century.

SUMMARY:The Persian Parthenon
DESCRIPTION:PROFESSOR TOM HARRISON\, British Museum\, looks again at the old thesis that the iconography of the Parthenon took inspiration from the art of Persepolis. He does so by taking a wider view of the role of Persia as a model for Athenian imperialism. By examining the evidence for other Persian architectural and artistic influence on the Greek world\, and reviewing the role of Persia in Aeschylus’ Persians\, Old Comedy and Herodotus’ Histories\, he argues that Persia served as an inevitable point of reference for Athens’ imperial ambitions.

SUMMARY:History in Flames: The Destruction and Survival of Medieval Manuscripts
DESCRIPTION:Our knowledge of the period of European history conventionally called the Middle Ages rests\, in a large part\, on the writings that survive from that time\, all of them manuscript. In this talk PROFESSOR ROBERT BARTLETT\, Emeritus\, University of St Andrews\, explores cases in which large numbers of such manuscripts were destroyed in a day\, not by accident of fire or flood but by human destructive force – arson\, shelling and bombing. It will look at the political and military events that led up to the moment of destruction\, the nature of the material that was lost and how it came to be where it was. Finally\, more cheerfully\, there is discussion of the heroic efforts made by scholars and archivists to save something from those catastrophes. Historical knowledge rests on material remains\, which include manuscripts\, and they are vulnerable.

SUMMARY:The Excavation of a Neolithic salt factory at Street House\, Loftus\, North Yorkshire
DESCRIPTION:STEPHEN SHERLOCK\, Independent Archaeologist presents new evidence for Early Neolithic (3800–3700 BC) salt-making at Street House\, Loftus\, in north-east England. This deeply stratified coastal site has yielded the remains of a brine-storage pit and a saltern with at least three associated hearths\, together with an assemblage of flint and stone tools\, ceramic vessel sherds and briquetage. A process of production is suggested and parallels are drawn from contemporaneous European and later British sites. This discovery has the potential to influence future Neolithic studies considering subsistence\, early technologies and exchange mechanisms.

SUMMARY:Early Neolithic Timber Halls in Scotland: Dr Brian Hope-Taylor\, Yeavering\, Doon Hill\, Balbridie and fifty years of confusion or worse
DESCRIPTION:PROFESSOR IAN RALSTON\, Abercromby Professor of Archaeology\, School of History\, Classics & Archaeology\, University of Edinburgh. \n  \nIn July 1959\, while Brian Hope-Taylor\, Ministry of Works digger and soon-to-be Assistant Lecturer in Archaeology at Cambridge\, was still in course of excavating the great Anglo-Saxon palace complex at Yeavering in Northumberland\, his future colleague\, Dr Kenneth St Joseph\, recorded from the air the first evidence for the foundations of a similar timber building\, here within a stockaded enclosure\, in Scotland. This lay on Doon Hill\, near Dunbar\, on a hill which effectively closed off the eastern end of the Lothian Plain. In the mid-1960s\, with three labourers and a small crew of Cambridge undergraduates\, and at the zenith of his career as an excavator\, Hope-Taylor investigated Doon Hill\, identifying not one\, but two superimposed\, timber buildings\, the polygonal palisaded enclosure\, an external cemetery of long graves\, and some other features. Having been presented by Hope-Taylor on the first extended TV series on British archaeology\, his Who were the British?\, the Doon Hill evidence was subsequently marked out on the ground in coloured concrete by the antecedent bodies to Historic Environment Scotland. \nDoon Hill was initially presented to the public according to Hope-Taylor’s interpretation of what he had found: as a ‘native’ British\, post-Roman hall site\, burnt down and taken over by the Northumbrian Angles\, who constructed their own hall there to a plan very similar to the Yeavering examples. The replacement would have happened c. AD 640\, when the early English extended their control northwards to Lothian. Hope-Taylor died in 2001\, without having published the site. His hypothesis has\, bit by bit\, crumbled over the intervening fifty-odd years. The speaker\, who first dug at Doon Hill as a schoolboy\, will outline the winding path that has led from ‘the-past-as-wished-for’ in the context of what was known archaeologically half a century ago to the radically different interpretation of the site today.

SUMMARY:Loaves and fishes in St Andrews: excavations at 100 North Street
DESCRIPTION:JULIE FRANKLIN\, Headland Archaeology presents results from recent excavations at 100 North Street. Located within the medieval burgh of St Andrews the site contained evidence for medieval and post-medieval activity. Occupation predominantly dates to the later 12th and 13th centuries but there are also hints of pre-burghal activity. Features included boundary ditches\, extraction pits\, water management features and a possible bread oven. A 16th-century stone-built latrine pit contained waterlogged cess deposits. There was evidence of luxury items such as grapes and a decorative glass vessel\, while a large fish bone assemblage allowed comparison of fishing practices between the medieval and post-medieval periods.

SUMMARY:Green treasures from the magic mountains . . .  and other stories from the Scottish Neolithic
DESCRIPTION:DR ALISON SHERIDAN\, Emerita Principal Curator of Early Prehistory at National Museums Scotland is our 2023 MITFORD LECTURER. \nHer lecture deals with the fascinating story of Scotland’s earliest farmers who lived here between around 4000 BC and 2500 BC\, during what we call the Neolithic (New Stone Age) period. Who were these people? How did they live? Why did they build monuments? How did they get on with each other? And what on earth did they do with their carved stone balls?\nThis was no normal ‘everyday story of country folk’: the ‘archers’ we encounter were serious with their bows and arrows! Our understanding of this period is being transformed by new discoveries and research\, especially through the application of advanced scientific techniques such as ancient DNA analysis and spectroradiometry. This lecture will share with you the results of this exciting work. \nWine and snacks from 7pm. \nLecture starts at 8pm. \nRenew your £10 membership for the whole year. \nOr £5 for the lecture only. \nStudents free.

SUMMARY:Coring Early Rome: geoarchaeological investigations into the origins of the Eternal City
DESCRIPTION:Dr Andrea Brock\, \nSince 2013\, I have led a collaborative project of a deep coring survey in the heart of Rome. The results are shedding new light on Rome’s pre-urban landscape\, as well as evidence for significant instability and change in the Tiber River valley that occurred alongside urban growth at Rome in the mid-1st millennium BCE. The early Romans\, therefore\, had to adapt to a dynamic riverine environment and significant urban flooding.
