A director of excavations and award-winning archaeologist has announced he will give a special talk in Wisbech.

Mark Knight, who was named 'Archaeologist of the Year' in 2017 by Current Archaeology, will deliver a presentation on the Flag Fen Basin, discussing its significance in relation to the wider Fenland Basin's archaeology.

Insights from notable sites, including Must Farm, as well as recent work at Flag Fen, along with projects at Wicken Fen and Thorney, will be shared.

Mr Knight was the Dig Director of Must Farm excavations for the Cambridge Archaeological Unit.

He specialises in prehistoric landscapes as well as Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery, and his interests extend to investigating later prehistoric contexts of inhabitation and mobility.

The Chris Green Memorial Lecture presented by the Fenland Archaeological Society will take place on January 20 at 7pm at Wisbech Rugby Club.

Admission is £5 for non-members.

Booking should be arranged in advance by contacting info@fenarch.org.uk.

The event at Wisbech Rugby Club, Chapel Road, PE13 1RG is an opportunity for attendees to enhance their understanding of the area's rich archaeological heritage.
