Mudlarking: Lost and Found on the River Thames with Lara Maiklem
- No reviews.
- Carlyle's House
Description
The River Thames is celebrated as Britain’s longest archaeological landscape, with a daily tide that reveals a foreshore rich in artefacts naturally preserved by anaerobic mud. Mudlarks are river scavengers and Lara Maiklem is uniquely trained in the art of seeking. Tirelessly trekking across miles of the Thames’ muddy shores, where others only see the detritus of city life, Maiklem discovers Roman brooches, clay pipes, Victorian shoe buckles and Mesolithic flints.
In this talk, Lara Maiklem takes us on a journey across miles of the Thames’ muddy shores relaying her stories of objects lost and found and the role they play in unearthing evidence of England’s captivating, if sometimes murky, history.
