Monday, March 14 2016, 6.00 pm - 7.00 pm

Living and dying at Auldhame, East Lothian

Dr Anne Crone, Project Manager, AOC Archaeology

Venue: Auditorium, National Museums Scotland, Chambers Street

Society of Antiquaries of Scotland

Excavations on the headland at Auldhame have uncovered a millennium of burial activity, from the 7th century to the 17th century AD. The earliest phase saw the establishment of a monastic settlement probably associated with the Anglian saint, Balthere. A grave with Hiberno-Norse connections signaled the end of this settlement, possibly violently, and the site subsequently became a parish church and graveyard, finally ending up as a family burial aisle or mortuary chapel for Adam Otterburn, four times provost of Edinburgh.

Under the reign of Emperor Qin, China was united.
