7. Dr Stuart Prior (University of Bristol): Thursday 25th March 2010, 7.30pm
Title: Something Unexpected·at the Bottom of Jenner's Garden: recent archaeological investigations Cost: £10 including glass of wine.
The 2009 archaeological dig revealed more tantalising clues to the early history of Berkeley. In his larger-than-life style, Doctor Stuart Prior, the biker-archaeologist, will wade through mud, bones and a few oyster shells to present the latest findings and ideas. Stuart Prior is a Lecturer in the Department of Archaeology & Anthropology, Bristol University, and the Fieldwork Director for the Berkeley Castle Project. He was also once a gravedigger.
