SUMMARY:Things We Found in the Ground: Virtual Author Event with Eleanor Bruce and Lucilla Gray
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual conversation with Eleanor and Lucilla\, to celebrate the U.S. release of Things We Found in the Ground. October is Archaeology Month in Connecticut! \nIn this guide-that’s-not-a-guide\, metal detectorist cousins Ellie and Lucie explore their local landscape\, getting to grips with the hobby\, history and themselves along the way. \nBeginning with their first meeting in over 20 years at their grandfather’s home in Lincolnshire\, the two cousins – Eleanor and Lucilla – quickly learn that each has a fascination with unearthing historic artefacts\, which will set them off on their metal detecting journey … \nOver many weeks and months spent digging countless holes\, the pair make startling discoveries: about the objects they find and what they tell us about our ancestors\, about themselves and who they are as people\, and about the power of community\, as they forge connections with local villagers\, detectorists and history lovers along the way. \nThis charming tale of (self-)discovery will capture the hearts and minds of those seeking escapism through the buried history that we walk over every day. \nAbout the authors: We are Ellie and Lucie\, cousins\, detectorists and authors. With over 5 years of experience out in the field (literally)\, we like to think we know a thing or two about the art of digging holes. Metal detecting for us was once a lockdown hobby… now it’s taken over both of our lives. Roman Found began as a creative outlet\, a way to share our adventures with fellow diggers\, hobbyists\, collectors and enthusiasts through the power of the internet—we never could’ve dreamed that we would connect with so many people. \nOur biggest inspiration will always be our finds and the stories they hold. Half of what we do is in the research\, searching beyond the dirt\, between the pages of a reference book for that tangible link back through decades\, centuries or even a millennia; a picture slowly building around that object we’ve pulled from the earth\, be it a button\, buckle or Roman coin.  Recently\, there has been a massive resurgence of public interest in history and in the stories still lost within our landscape. Metal detecting\, as a result\, has become\, dare we say it\, trendy… As active self recorders with the British Museum’s Portable Antiquities Scheme and PLA Permit Holders\, we aim to highlight the responsible side of metal detecting through our adventures\, adding to the public record responsibly and increasing the archaeological understanding of our region. Learn more here \nPlease register; Zoom links will go out the day before the event. \nSponsored by the Avon Library\, Avon Historical Society\, and Avon Senior Center.
