It was to take over 6\,000 years for farming to reach Cornwall. This lecture explores the fascinating story of how and when an agricultural way of life became established in C ornwall\, and what happened to the descendants of Cornwall’s first farme rs over the period c. 3800–1500 BC. It will look at the cultural identit y of the inhabitants and their patterns of contacts with the wider world d uring the Neolithic and Chalcolithic (Copper Age)\, and at the impact made when copper\, gold and tin began to be exploited during the Early Bronze Age. It will stray into developments in Devon too\, since Cornwall was nev er cut off from its neighbour and\, as far as we know\, the ‘butter & \; cream before or after jam’ debate had not yet commenced!\n\n\nBio:\nA lison Sheridan is emerita Principal Curator of Early Prehistory and\, sinc e her retirement in 2019\, Research Associate with National Museums Scotla nd in Edinburgh\, but her research on the Neolithic\, Chalcolithic and Bro nze Age of Britain and Ireland has included dipping her toe into Cornish a rchaeology. She is Chair of the Implement Petrology Group (a ‘sister’ organisation to the South West IPG) and her specialist interests include s tone axeheads\, pottery\, and jewellery of jet/jet-like materials\, faienc e\, amber and gold.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCornish Archaeology Online is a series of talks that is open to all.
