One of Britain’s most distinguished archaeologists and the excavator of Flag Fen, Francis has been studying the archaeology of the Fens since 1971. No stranger to this part of Lincolnshire, having taken part in many excavations nearby, he will be “Bringing the magic of the Fens to life in a deeply personal and utterly enthralling way” (Tony Robinson).
His latest book, ‘Scenes from Prehistoric Life’ takes us across four millennia, touching upon several local sites including those along the Norfolk coast. Francis Pryor will be paying specific attention to both latest books, ‘The Fens' (2019) and 'Scenes from Prehistoric Life' (2021) in this illustrated talk.
