SUMMARY:Excavation of a Neolithic tomb at Tresness\, Sanday\, Orkney
DESCRIPTION:THIS TALK IS CANCELLED FOR MARCH 9 AND WILL BE RE-ARRANGED \nWe are delighted to welcome Dr Hugo Anderson-Whymark (National Museums Scotland) who will be telling us about recent excavations of an eroding Neolithic tomb on the island of Sanday\, Orkney. The excavations have revealed an exceptional sequence of deposits within the chamber that shed considerable light on activities undertaken at the monument.  Artefacts recovered include two polished stone balls\, that allow several comparable finds to be set in context. \n

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.

SUMMARY:The Western Wadis of the Theban Necropolis
DESCRIPTION:Dr Piers Litherland \nIn our May lecture\, Piers Litherland\, McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at Cambridge University and head of the New Kingdom Research Foundation\, presents new findings about senior royal women and evidence of climate change in the Western Wadis of the Theban Necroplis. Investigation of the Wadi Bairiya shaft tombs has brought to light a hitherto unknown group of court women of the period of Amenhotep III\, including a Great Chief Wife of the King\, Nebetnehet\, a Son of the King\, Menkheperre\, a Wife of the King\, Henut\, a Daughter of the King\, Tia\, and at least 28 other individuals whose burials were deliberately destroyed in pharaonic times. Further study of the site and its surroundings\, and additional work in the Western Wadis and Wadi 300\, has produced evidence of a cycle of wetter weather in at least four periods\, the most extreme of which was the XVIIIth dynasty (1550-1292 BC).  Re-analysis of graffiti has disclosed that the western wadis were filled with water during this time for watching and trapping live falcons. As well as advancing our understanding of this landscape and its development\, this wetter weather may account for a marginal expansion in the hunting and gathering constituents in the economy and provide a model for explaining the extraordinary expansion of the economy in the early XVIIIth dynasty and its subsequent contraction through the XIXth and XXth dynasties (1292-1077 BC).

SUMMARY:The Mitford Lecture: Rome’s Eastern Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Tim Bruce Mitford \nWild\, mountainous\, and  accessible only on horseback or on foot\, Rome’s remotest frontier ran across eastern Turkey to the Black Sea. \nThis terrain has long remained one of the great gaps in our knowledge of the ancient world\, barely visited and effectively unknown. In the early 1960s  Tim Bruce Mitford embarked on a lifetime of fieldwork\, culminating in ‘Discovering Rome’s Eastern Frontier’ which offers an account of his half a century of research and exploration over sensitive territory\, in challenging conditions\, to discover the material remains of Rome’s last unexplored frontier. \nIn this 2022 Mitford Lecture\, Tim will take us on a journey through the monuments of this vast frontier: fortresses and forts\, roads\, bridges\, signalling stations\, and navigation of the Euphrates\, enriched with encounters of the many people met along the way and observations of ways of life little changed since antiquity. \nThe Mitford lecture will be held in All Saints Church Hall\, North Castle Street St Andrews. Free to Archaeology Society Members and Student Archaeology Society members\, £2 suggested donation for non-members

SUMMARY:Steatite Rocks: vessels\, pioneers\, and trade in the Norse North Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:Dr Manda Forster\, DigVentures \nSteatite\, or soapstone is a material that can tell us a great deal about the people of the North Atlantic region from the 8th to the 14th centuries. This presentation investigates steatite artefacts and raw material to trace the life stories of objects from across the Viking diaspora. Through understanding the location of quarries and the distribution of products\, especially artefacts recovered from Viking-period sites in northern Britain (York to Orkney)\, Ireland\, Faroe\, and Iceland\, we can spot distinct typological classes of vessels and map movement of objects and people. \nThe talk will also present results from the recent Homeland to Home project\, undertaken in collaboration with Richard Jones of the University of Glasgow.  The project has applied archaeological\, typological\, and scientific analysis to link vessel types to a likely source region.  Results linked to several quarries on Shetland and southeast Norway are presented here\, with a discussion of the evidence relating to artefacts from Shetland (Sandwick\, Unst)\, York\, Orkney (Quoygrew\, Westray)\, Kaupang and the Faroes. \nFor several reasons\, including the still limited size of the quarry chemical database\, positive assignments of origin to individual artefacts remain difficult to propose based on chemical composition alone. However\, more progress has been made in a process of association\, by close consideration of groups of artefacts that are likely to have a similar origin owing to their similarity of composition.  Can this combined approach help us identify the origins of Viking pioneers and map subsequent networks across the North Atlantic? And does it overturn previous assumptions based on typological analysis?

SUMMARY:Tracing the Lines: Pots and People in Late Neolithic Scotland
DESCRIPTION:Mike Copper\, University of Bradford \nIn the final centuries of the 4th millennium BC a new style of pottery known as Grooved Ware appeared in Orkney. Known from sites including the Standing Stones of Stenness\, the village of Barnhouse and the dramatic enclosure of the Ness of Brodgar\, Grooved Ware was subsequently\, and rapidly\, adopted across the whole of Britain and Ireland\, replacing all previously existing regional styles. What\, then\, was so special about Grooved Ware? What was the significance of Orkney and of the Balfarg/Balbirnie ritual complex in Fife? And how does the adoption of this new style of pottery fit in with the appearance of other widely shared forms of artefact and monuments after 3\,000 BC? In this talk\, Dr Mike Copper will address these and other Grooved Ware-related questions in the light of the results of recent  – Tracing the Lines: uncovering Scottish Grooved Ware trajectories beyond Orkney.

SUMMARY:Down to the Wire: Rescue Excavation of the Pockoy Island Shell Ring Complex
DESCRIPTION:Dr Meg Gaillard\, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources \nSince 2017\, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Archaeology team has been assisted by hundreds of volunteers\, students and professional archaeologists in a rescue excavation of the Pockoy Island Shell Ring Complex located on Botany Bay Plantation Heritage Preserve\, Charleston County\, South Carolina\, USA. The excavation of this 4\,300-year-old site is necessary because Pockoy Island is eroding at a rate of 15m/year. Heritage at risk sites like the Pockoy Island Shell Ring Complex give archaeologists a chance to combine rapid excavation with community archaeology to recover knowledge before the opportunity is lost forever.

SUMMARY:Archaeologies of animality: how animals shaped Iron Age and Romano-British landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Dr Adrian Chadwick \nTrackways were an important component of many Iron Age and Roman-period rural landscapes in Britain. They linked settlement enclosures and led to fields and areas of pasture. Such features not only indicate the economic significance of livestock and pastoralism but also the importance of routine herding journeys during periods when landscape inhabitation and tenure are usually assumed to be static and permanent\, focused on specific tracts of land. \nRoutes of trackways were ingrained into the muscle memories of people and animals\, and the social memories of communities\, and animal herds and flocks. People would have been alert to the movements\, moods\, and motivations of their beastly charges\, matching their pace and bodily dispositions to those of livestock. Animals too would have partly shaped the trackways\, fields\, funnels\, enclosures and pens through their behaviour. \nIn this presentation\, Dr Chadwick will explore how the interrelationships of people and animals\, their shared experience of movement and memory\, resulted in the creation of the agricultural landscapes of Iron Age and Roman-period Britain

SUMMARY:The Curious Case of Achill Henge: Investigating the Strange Desire to Replicate a Wiltshire Landmark
DESCRIPTION:Dr Stuart Rathbone \nIn this talk\, Stuart Rathbone\, former Director of Field Work for the Achill Archaeological Field School\, tells the story of how the island gained an illegal replica of Stonehenge\, explores the wider phenomenon of making reconstructions of Stonehenge\, and asks if there is anything we can learn from the whole debacle. \nAchill Island in County Mayo in Western Ireland features a wide range of archaeological sites\, including Neolithic Tombs\, Bronze Age Houses and field systems\, Iron Age Promontory Forts\, Early Medieval Ringforts and Kilns\, a fine Tower House\, post-medieval rural settlements\, and several 19th and 20th century naval facilities. In November 2011 these existing sites were joined by a full size\, and illegally constructed\, concrete-built replica of the outer sarsen ring of Stonehenge. The then director of fieldwork at the Achill Archaeological Field school felt rather obliged to do something about the newly appeared structure\, but it was unclear what an appropriate response would be? Traditional recording of the site proved entertaining but far from enlightening. Less traditional techniques provided useful insights into how archaeologists respond to genuine Neolithic sites\, and raised serious questions about how archaeologically informed the creator of the replica may have been. These investigations led to a wider review of the phenomenon of replicating Stonehenge\, and a wide range of motivations were identified.

SUMMARY:The Archaeology of Shetland's Sea Roads
DESCRIPTION:Esther Renwick and Marc Chivers \nShetland’s location and the geography of its island archipelago has meant that for most of the 6000 years that people have lived here a seafaring culture has prevailed. This is reflected in the archaeological record where strong cultural links can be seen with mainland UK and Norway. Until recently\, everybody used small boats for local transport and communication\, but today\, boat culture is an important part of Shetland’s heritage not a lived experience for modern communities. \nIn this talk\, archaeologist Esther Renwick and boat historian Marc Chivers\, both long-time Shetland residents\, will examine the traditional boat culture in Shetland and look at some of the archaeological evidence that helps us build a more complete seaward\, rather than landward narrative of an almost lost way of life.
