Plans for the next couple of months.

A quick update on plans.

We are somewhat better organised than usual and so have plenty to look forward to over the rest of the summer as far as both Wednesday nights and fieldwork are concerned.

Looking at Wednesday nights first, this is the schedule going forward to the beginning of the autumn:

Wednesday 25th July - Launching the Parish Boundaries Project
Wednesday 8th August - Farndon Village Walk
Wednesday 22nd August - Ice Age Insights Update/Plans - Daryl Garton
Wednesday 29th August -  Business Meeting
Wednesday 12th September - Talk: Magdelanian Personal Ornamentation - Izzie Wisher
Wednesday 26th September - Wrap up of 2018 Ancaster Excavations
Wednesday 10th October - Talk: Excavations at Flag Fen and Must Farm - Richard Tyndall

In addition I am hoping to book a Saturday at the hall in October where we can lay out all the pottery from Ancaster and get some expert opinion on it with the aim of building a better understanding of the nature and dating of the site.

As far as field work goes, we will be continuing to excavate at Ancaster into the autumn. So far the following dates are confirmed:

Friday 27th July
Saturday 28th July
Thursday 2nd August (only 1 day this week)
Thursday 9th August
Friday 10th August

There will be further digging in September but this will ned to be organised with the start of field work at Farndon Fields in mind as we expect to be starting test pitting and other field work there in September.
