MOLA Lunch and Learn: A428 Archaeology, the road so far

Monday 29th July 2024 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM BST, Online (Zoom)

We’re taking a look back over three years of archaeological excavations on the A428!

Join us for a lunch and learn webinar and dig into the incredible discoveries we’ve made so far, revealing more than 6000 years of history in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

We’ll cover everything from Neolithic stone tools to Iron Age and Roman farming, a medieval mill, animals of the A428 and more!

Our archaeologists and post-excavation specialists will take you behind the scenes of the excavations, sharing our latest findings and giving you a taste of what we’re doing next.

First, you'll hear from A428 Archaeology Project Manager Simon Markus about our discoveries in the field, then A428 Post-Excavation Manager Sanda Vucicic will share how the processing team uses evidence such as soil samples to build up a picture of the past landscape. Finally, Archaeozoologist Chris Faine will reveal the lives of many animals of the A428. Afterwards, there will be opportunities to ask questions.
