Summer Soirée & Reception

The Society looks forward to welcoming you to our annual Summer Soirée, with a Pimm’s reception afterwards. We will hear a miscellany of papers from those who have been involved in our publishing programme. The publications being discussed are: An early Bronze Age log-coffin burial from Tetney, Lincolnshire, edited by Dr Hugh Willmott FSA The Romano-British villa and prehistoric settlement at Low Ham, Somerset by David Roberts FSA, Roger Leech FSA & Rachel Cubitt Dictionary of British Crests – Medieval Ordinary by Sir Thomas Woodcock FSA The Rescue Excavation and Analysis of an Early Bronze Age Log-Coffin Burial at Tetney, Lincolnshire by Dr Hugh Willmott FSA This lecture presents the results of the excavation and interdisciplinary analysis of an Early Bronze Age log-coffin burial discovered at Tetney, Lincolnshire. Despite the unexpected and destructive circumstances of its discovery, the burial represents an exceptionally well-preserved example of a funerary rite precisely dated to 2032 BC. Following the disturbance of a barrow by a mechanical excavator, which scattered the coffined remains, a rescue excavation recorded the surviving burial context and associated deposits, recovering artefactual and environmental evidence. Subsequent research has included detailed investigation of the coffin’s construction and wiggle-matched radiocarbon dating of the wood, alongside osteological and isotopic analysis of the human remains.
