A Must-Have Cake at Must Farm! Dr Ben Jennings braves the media scrum to eat!

21 Mar by Gaffney, Vince

The School of Archaeological and Forensic Science’s Cambridge correspondent, Dr Ben Jennings, attended the launch of the Must Farm monograph at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, Cambridge.

The Must Farm excavation was a global media sensation when occurring in 2016 and 2017, bridging across both archaeological research and forensic fire investigation!

Contributing a section to Volume 1, which places the Must Farm site into wider context of European pile-dwelling sites, Ben was invited to the release of the book. which attracted media attention across the world (https://edition.cnn.com/2024/0…)

Digital copies of the report can be read online for free, but the hard copy for volume one is of excellent print quality with colour throughout. Volume 2 is a digital version only – with the single printed version demonstrating why it would not be digestible in hard copy. (https://www.repository.cam.ac….)

Artefacts from the excavation are now on display in the Archaeology and Anthropology Museum, Cambridge.

Any good event obviously needs cake – but Ben wouldn’t recommend a replica bronze sword as an efficient cake knife!
