Finchley and Hendon:
2000 years of archaeology – in 45 minutes
Jacqui Pearce
7.30 pm Thursday
September 26
at Stephens House
Finchley and Hendon have a history going back to Roman times and beyond. Although we have abundant evidence from written records, mapping and various pictorial sources, the overall picture is greatly enhanced by archaeology, and many excavations within the Borough of Barnet have brought to life the people who lived here. Jacqui Pearce’s talk will cover local developments over the past 2000 years, as seen in the artefacts the inhabitants left behind and in the evidence for some of the buildings in which they lived and worked.
Jacqui joined the Department of Urban Archaeology of the Museum of London in 1977 as a Finds Assistant, then a Ceramics Specialist. Her current post with Museum of London Archaeology involves analysis and research on medieval and later ceramics, including glass and clay tobacco pipes. Jacqui previously served as Co-Editor of Medieval Ceramics and has taught regular evening classes in archaeological finds work since 2001, first through Birkbeck College, University of London, and later through the Hendon & District Archaeological Society. In 2011 Jacqui was awarded the Ralph Merrifield Prize for Services to London Archaeology.
The meeting will take place at Stephens (Avenue) House, 17 East End Road, Finchley N3 3QE. It will begin at 7.30 pm.
