What's on?
Wednesday at Bar Hill
We will be carrying on holding meetings at the Oxford Archaeology East HQ at Bar Hill during March/April to carry on assessing finds from Ickleton and any remaining material from the Wimpole parterre gardens excavations.
Lectures
Our next lecture will be at our AGM at the MacDonald Institute on Wednesday 10th April at 7.30pm when our retiring President Paul Spoerry will talk on "Characterisation and contextualisation, making sense from pottery analysis on medieval sites"
Fieldwork
There will be no field walking this coming weekend 31st March as this is Easter weekend. We hope to return on 7th April to Ickleton, weather permitting.
