Book Synopsis Rectory Farm, Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire by : Alice Lyons
Download or read book Rectory Farm, Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire written by Alice Lyons and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excavations took place at Rectory Farm, Godmanchester when gravel quarrying extended over an area in which aerial photography had revealed Roman buildings and a wealth of varied cropmarks. The site emerged from the investigation as a complex multi-period landscape containing archaeological remains of considerable importance. The earliest activity was a large Early to Middle Neolithic trapezoidal enclosure located on the gravels of the broad flat Ouse Valley - an area rich in archaeological monuments. A series of twenty-four large posts were arranged with great precision and were enclosed by a continuous ditch and internal bank with an 'entrance' on one side. A small mound further west evidently served as a viewing point for the enclosure. Radiocarbon analysis dates the use of the enclosure to 3685-3365 cal BC (95% probability). A Middle to Late Neolithic 'cursus' ran 0.5km to the south-west, where it disappeared beneath modern Godmanchester. A Bronze Age funerary mound lay to the north and both this and the earlier mound were later used for Roman burials. A Roman villa farm developed adjacent to the Neolithic enclosure in three identifiable phases, linked by road to the Roman town of Durovigutum (Godmanchester). At first (late 1st to 2nd century) an aisled building was associated with minor structures and a pond, long ditched enclosures, and a mixed inhumation/cremation cemetery. New buildings were erected in the 3rd century and the aisled structure was re-used for crop-processing. Environmental remains from an infilled pond suggest the presence of plant and tree species reminiscent of a Mediterranean style garden. A substantial timber-framed building (probably a barn) lay within a developing field system, while a granary lay in its own enclosure closer to the main buildings. A new aisled building was paired with the first, and joined by a corridor to a third building - a long hall with impressive stone-built footings, which may have been residential. The latest building in the sequence was a high status rectangular hall-type structure, with underfloor heating. Three substantial wells nearby contained painted wall plaster, tesserae and a large column capital. The discovery of a finely made cockerel figurine within one of the wells may indicate an association with the god Mercury. Environmental evidence combines with archaeological features to suggest that this latest building was associated with a small courtyard garden, while the presence of numerous honey bees may indicate that hives were present nearby. By the early 5th century, the buildings were derelict, but although settlement had ceased the land remained in agricultural use until gravel extraction and landfill took place in the late 20th century.
Book Synopsis Defending Cambridgeshire by : Mike Osborne
Download or read book Defending Cambridgeshire written by Mike Osborne and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, Cambridgeshire (including Huntingdon and Peterborough) has figured in many of the conflicts which have shaped our nation. Doomed Roman legionaries marched from Longthorpe to defeat by Boudicca's Iceni; Saxons and Danes fought over the edges of the Danelaw; the Normans came this way to crush Hereward's Fenland resistance; in the Civil War it provided the defended frontier between Parliamentarian and Royalist; in Napoleonic times French prisoners of war were incarcerated here; and in the twentieth century its flat expanses were home to numerous airfields and missile bases. This book describes the function and purpose of these defensive structures and reveals the evidence which many of these major events left on the ground: the earthworks of hill forts, medieval castles and moats; the masonry of later forts and strong-houses; drill halls and militia barracks; and the lines of anti-invasion defences from 1940.
Download or read book Fenland Waterways written by Chris Howes and published by Imray, Laurie, Norie and Wilson Ltd. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide to the Middle Level waterways that lie between the River Great Ouse and River Nene, including the main link route via March and several other alternatives, gives all the information needed for anyone planning to navigate the area. Shaped by human ingenuity and home to a rich variety of nature, the serene and stunning landscapes of the Fenland waterways are more remote than most of the rest of the country’s network of navigable inland waters. In this lies their beauty and much of their attraction. However, they also have sufficient access to facilities. Readers will find a wealth of information about moorings, facilities and services, as well as features of interest to canoeists, paddleboarders, walkers and other users of the waterways. It includes detailed mapping for each section of the rivers as well as overview plans. Imray’s popular inland waterways guides are being revised with experienced boat-owners and navigators from the Inland Waterways Association. With a completely new design and maps that have been rescaled and reoriented to make them more user-friendly, this new Fenland Waterways guide has been written by Chris Howes, Deputy National Chairman, Eastern Region Chairman and Peterborough Branch Chairman of the IWA. Chris is a knowledgeable enthusiast for the area and his navigation notes are enriched with narrative and photographs, highlighting numerous points of interest.

Book Synopsis They Shimmer Within: Cognitive-Evolutionary Perspectives on Visionary Beings by : Bruce Rimell
Download or read book They Shimmer Within: Cognitive-Evolutionary Perspectives on Visionary Beings written by Bruce Rimell and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of psychedelic drugs plants is rising, and with it the number of reports narrating encounters with otherworldly visionary beings. Approaches to these experiences have often been literal, archetypal or dismissive. Evolutionary psychology and the cognitive science of religion suggest innate and non-imagistic mental foundations for these phenomena arising from easily-triggered evolutionary functions during emotive periods of high cognitive demand. Such functions include agent detection, social intelligence faculties and metacognition. This wide-ranging book explores how our deepest mental processes predispose us as humans to believe in supernatural agents, and presents a new hypothesis of how these same cognitions facilitate the emergence of those agents to become present when psychedelic drugs and plants are ingested. Bruce concludes that visionary beings shimmer within as awe-inspiring products of the mind, an experience which rests at the heart of what it is to be human.

Book Synopsis Methods in Ancient Wine Archaeology by : Emlyn Dodd
Download or read book Methods in Ancient Wine Archaeology written by Emlyn Dodd and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together a wide array of modern scientific techniques and interdisciplinary approaches, this book provides an accessible guide to the methods that form the current bedrock of research into Roman, and more broadly ancient, wine. Chapters are arranged into thematic sections, covering biomolecular archaeology and chemical analysis, archaeobotany and palynology, vineyard and landscape archaeology and computational and experimental archaeology. These include discussions of some of the most recent techniques, such as ancient DNA and organic residue analyses, geophysical prospection, multispectral imaging and spatial and climatic modelling. While most of the content is of direct relevance to the Roman Mediterranean, the assortment of detailed case studies, methodological outlines and broader 'state of the field' reflections is of equal use to researchers working across disparate disciplines, geographies, and chronologies. The study of ancient Roman wine has been dominated until recently by traditional archaeological analyses focused upon production facilities and ceramic evidence related to transport. While such architecture and artefact-focussed approaches provide a fundamental foundation for our understanding of this topic, they fail to provide the requisite nuance to answer other questions regarding grape cultivation and wine production, consumption, use and trade. As the first compendium of its kind, this book supports the embedding of modern scientific and experimental techniques into archaeological fieldwork, research and laboratory analysis, pushing the boundaries of what questions can be explored, and serving as a launching point for future avenues of interdisciplinary research.
