NEWS: Roman Town Find in Cambridgeshire Halts Net-Zero Solar Farm Plans.

A significant archaeological discovery in Cambridgeshire has halted plans for a proposed solar farm, highlighting the tension between the United Kingdom’s net-zero ambitions and the preservation of its historical heritage.

The remains of a well-preserved Roman town, uncovered during survey work for the East Park Energy solar farm and energy storage project near Great Staughton, have been granted heritage protection status as a scheduled monument, effectively blocking development on the site. This finding, announced in September 2024, highlights the importance of archaeological assessments in modern planning and raises questions about balancing renewable energy goals with cultural conservation.

NEWS: Recent archaeological discoveries off the coast of Scotland have illuminated the remarkable journeys of prehistoric peoples who ventured to the far northern reaches of the British Isles around 10,000 years ago.

Submerged stone tools and possible structural remains found near the Isle of Skye suggest that early humans, likely Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, braved challenging conditions to settle in regions previously thought to be sparsely populated. This finding, reported by the University of Glasgow, challenges assumptions about the extent of prehistoric human migration and highlights the resilience of our ancestors.

Imagine being the one to discover this! 📖

In a remarkable find, researchers at Cambridge University Library have discovered fragments of a rare 13th-century manuscript containing medieval tales of Merlin and King Arthur. Hidden for centuries within the binding of a 16th-century ledger, these parchment fragments offer a fresh glimpse into the Arthurian legend, shedding light on its medieval French origins. Digitised through a groundbreaking three-year project, the manuscript is now accessible to scholars and the public, marking a significant moment in literary and historical research.

NEWS- For over four centuries, the fate of the Lost Colony of Roanoke has remained one of America’s most enduring historical enigmas. In 1587, over 100 English settlers, led by Governor John White, established a colony on Roanoke Island, off the coast of present-day North Carolina. When White returned in 1590 after a three-year delay due to the Anglo-Spanish War, the colony was deserted, with only the word “CROATOAN” carved into a wooden post as a clue. Now, groundbreaking archaeological discoveries on Hatteras Island have provided compelling evidence that the colonists did not vanish but integrated with the local Croatoan tribe, solving a mystery that has puzzled historians and archaeologists for generations… (continue at www.archaeology.co.uk link in io)
