Cambridge and the antiquaries, 1500- 1840: the 150th Anniversary Lecture, delivered on 12 March 1990.
Christopher N L Brooke

Ruth Parkin
13 - 38
The paper provides an analysis of the Walker Collection of lithic material from the March/Manea area of Cambridgeshire. A total of sixteen sites were isolated, seven of which were quantified in order to date the assemblages, using both typological and metrical data. These assemblages proved to be mixed, producing Late Mesolithic, Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age elements. Profiles for the industries of each period are presented along with a brief review of site function.
The Bassingbourn Diana: a comparison with other bronze figures of Diana found in Britain; a comparison with other bronze figurines of Diana ...
Joan P Alcock
39 - 44
The author compares the four bronze statuettes of Diana found in Britain, each of which portrays a different interpretation of the goddess. The possible local manufacture of the Bassingbourn figure at a British workshop is discussed, as is a speculative date of the second century AD.
Barrington Anglo-Saxon cemetery, 1989.; TL37464959
Tim Malim
45 - 62
A programme of survey and excavation was undertaken in 1989 at Edix Hill Hole, near Orwell but in the parish of Barrington. The aim was to determine the extent and condition of a sixth-century AD burial ground threatened by ploughing. The burials covered an area of at least half a hectare on the top of a small rise. Traces of a bank appear to delimit the cemetery. Twenty-seven skeletons were excavated, of which ten were severely damaged, and only three were virtually undamaged. Weapons, jewellery, and other personal items including a large number of amber beads, were deposited with the burials.
St Neots Priory 1989.
Wendy Horton
Gerald A Wait
63 - 69
Report on the recovery during construction work in 1986--7 of two burials in stone coffins to the east of the remains of the St Neots Priory buildings, along with the results of a watching brief during work on a sewer line in 1989 to the south of this point. The watching brief revealed structural remains, although it remained inconclusive whether these corresponded with the Priory remains recorded in earlier excavations between 1954 and 1960. At least seven further burials were recovered to the east of the Priory buildings, including those of women and children indicating a parish cemetery. The group contained an unusually high number of skeletal anomalies. A sherd of St Neots ware in one burial indicates a date of the tenth/eleventh century or later.
The lost stained glass of Cambridge.
Graham Chainey
70 - 81
Using documentary evidence, the author lists churches, chapels and other buildings in and around Cambridge that once contained medieval or early post-medieval stained glass windows, and describes, where possible, the appearance of the lost windows.
A different kind of Cambridge antiquarian: Marshall Fisher and his Ely Museum.; Marshall Fisher and his Ely Museum
Nigel Holman
82 - 92
Biographical account of the life of the nineteenth-century collector and amateur scientist, Marshall Fisher, and his work as curator of Ely Museum from shortly before 1849 until his death in 1899. The author argues that the work of such lesser-known figures in the history of museums and of archaeological research should not be underestimated.

Alison Taylor
93 - 96
Short, separately authored summaries of excavations carried out in Cambridgeshire in 1989 and 1990; listed in sections by funding body, and including grid references in most cases.
