Living and dying at Auldhame, East Lothian – Edinburgh 14 March

14th March 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Excavation in progress at Auldhamea

Lecture by Dr Anne Crone, Project Manager, AOC Archaeology

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.
