Pete Scrivens “Rev. John Hutchins (1698-1773)”
The talk will discuss recent radiocarbon dating and DNA studies of later Iron age burials from Dorset, which have overturned the believed wisdom regarding the structure of Iron Age society in Dorset. The work has proven Iron Age Durotrigian society to be a female line (matrilocal) society and that the complex societal organisation revealed by what was considered the single event Maiden Castle ‘war cemetery’ was nothing to do with the Roman invasion.
