  • Flag Fen: a Natural History
    Flag Fen: A natural history �������� working today ��������������������������� for nature tomorrow Flag Fen booklet.indd 1 16/3/05 3:23:24 pm Nature and wildlife is all around us. Wherever you go, from the remotest islands to the busiest cities, you will find plants and animals in some of the most unlikely places. A world without wildlife would be quite impossible for us to live on. As all forms of life on Earth follow natural cycles, so we humans depend on our plants and animals for food, clothing, medicines and even building materials. All our fruit, vegetables and meat come originally from a natural source, but in this country we are used to buying these products from supermarkets, carefully prepared and packaged. It’s sometimes hard to imagine that the perfectly-formed apples and carrots we see actually grew in an orchard or field! Imagine how much harder it would be if we had to find food for ourselves. Would you be able to find your next meal, or sufficient food to feed your family? Three thousand years ago, long before supermarkets, the people who lived around Flag Fen had to solve these problems every day. Flag Fen is an internationally important archaeological site, which has provided valuable information about Bronze Age people and their environment. Although they were farmers, wild plants and animals played an important part in the day-to- day survival of those early fen folk. 2 Flag Fen booklet.indd 2 16/3/05 3:23:31 pm Scabious flowers at Flag Fen: this former home to ancient Britons is right next to modern houses and modern life – and wildlife thrives here.

  • A Prehistory of Rhythm and Interspecies Participation
    Society & Animals 21 (2013) 134-149 brill.com/soan The Significance of Others: A Prehistory of Rhythm and Interspecies Participation Marcus Brittain* and Nick Overton** * Cambridge Archaeological Unit, University of Cambridge [email protected] ** Department of Archaeology, University of Manchester Abstract The understanding of relations that bound humans and animals together during prehistory is undergoing a radical transformation in archaeology from broadly economic to social models. A reconsideration of the role of material culture in the production of social worlds is integral to these new approaches. The following article argues, however, that it is unhelpful to begin with separate human and animal domains that are mediated by symbols and material signifiers. Instead a plea is outlined for an integrated approach to species cohabitation and coevolution that focuses upon situated assemblies of material bodies and the intra-action of all participants within these spaces. It is suggested that scales of rhythm serve to regulate these intra-actions. Using examples from the Danish Mesolithic and the British Bronze Age, particularly of swan hunting and horse riding, this article shows how archaeology may be ideally equipped to articulate these phenomena, and for defining the varied and dynamic means by which species get along as sig- nificant “Others” in local contexts of cohabitation. Keywords Mesolithic, Bronze Age, cohabitation, intra-action, rhythm, zooarchaeology Introduction The relationships of humans to animals in prehistoric societies

  • Alluviated Fen-Edge Prehistoric Landscapes in Cambridgeshire, England
    ALLUVIATED FEN-EDGE PREHISTORIC LANDSCAPES IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ENGLAND Introduction Over the past decade, extensive and varied fieldwork in advance of commercial development and drainage programmes has enabled large areas of the Cambridgeshire fen-edge and lower reaches of the river valleys of the Welland and Nene to be examined in great detail using archaeological and environmental techniques. The aim of this paper is to illustrate how the combination of archacological sites, soil, sedimentological and palynological techniques can combine to interpret an extensive buried prehistoric landscape. The area chosen for discussion is situated in the northwestern corner of the East Anglian fenland around Peterborough, Cambridgeshire (Fig.1). In particular, the lower reaches of the river valleys Welland and Nene will be examined in some detail. The River Welland runs to the north of Peterborough, and the River Nene meanders through what is now the city of Peterborough. Both rivers emerge from the limestone hills of the East Midlands to the west, and empty out across very broad floodplains into the fen basin to the east. As the floodplains, especially the very wide Welland valley, at present bear little visual relationship to their past aspect, deforestation, alluviation, drainage and modern development tend to make these areas wide, flat, featureless landscapes. This becomes even more marked as one moves eastwards across the fen-edge and into the fen basin. Massive drainage works from the 17th century AD onwards have made a completely artificial and dry landscape by today. These lowland river valleys, in common with the Thames valley around Oxford, contain the densest areas of prehistoric and Roman cropmark sites in lowland England.

  • Valuing Archaeology; Exploring the Reality of the Heritage Management of England’S Wetlands
    Valuing archaeology; exploring the reality of the heritage management of England’s wetlands Submitted by William Fletcher, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology on 31st March 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ………………………… 1 For Kate and Amy 2 Abstract This work primarily examines the management of wet-preserved archaeological sites in England, through an exploration of value and analysis of current management approaches. The aim is to explore whether the current policy frameworks, in particular the role of preservation in situ, can provide a sustainable future for wet-preserved archaeological sites. This work further seeks to conceptualise the modelling of sustainability, preservation and management decision making in wetland archaeological sites. Looking at the last 40 year of wetland research through the work of the large-scale wetland survey projects, this work initially considers the current understanding of wet archaeological sites in England. It also examines aspects of heritage management through the legislative and policy frameworks and their legacy. This work considers the implications that legislative and policy positions have for the management of wetland archaeological sites and examines the theoretical concepts that underpin them. This includes exploring reflective management, the development of research frameworks, and scoring mechanisms for the designation of sites.
