The Prehistoric Group has arranged a study day on animal bones to be held in the Leatherhead Institute.
This will be led by Sarah Green, MA Southampton, and is an introduction, with hands on experience, to the methods of identification of animal bones from archaeological sites and how they can help us to understand the economy and way of life of people in the past.
A free Zoom event has been arranged where three members give short presentations about their work.
Bill Powell will discuss his current research on Mesolithic and Neolithic mobility in Pembrokeshire as affected by the geology of the region
Jan Blatchford will talk about her involvement with the excavation at the Ness of Brodgar, Orkney
James Crouch will present How to Build a Roundhouse: A Volunteers Experience

Coming Soon: Richard Morgan
This volume is a Research Paper of the Surrey Archaeological Society (No.5) published in 1959 and now out of print. It is a discussion of the excavation of bomb-damaged sites in Southwark supported by the Surrey Archaeological Society. The excavation of these reported sites was largely the work of volunteers and this report is dedicated to them.
This talk will cover the gadgets and methods spies have used across the world and throughout history. It was inspired by the speaker’s recent visit to the Berlin Spy Museum–if you haven’t been there, it’s highly recommended. We’ll be hearing about some of the wildly creative schemes, and just plain weird devices, creative people from Britain, America, Russia, Germany and elsewhere have devised over the years.
This talk will narrate the history of the Channel Tunnel through the 18th & 19th centuries, featuring the proposals that were put forward over this period, up to the final decision to build a tunnel.
