AN event aimed showcasing recently-found archaeological treasures has been postponed.
During trenching to lay cables from an offshore windfarm project, artefacts from the Iron Age, plus Roman and Medieval times, were unearthed.
They include pottery, animal bones and salt-making equipment - all retrieved from a 39-km route from Horseshoe Point, through Tetney and Waltham, up to the 46 road at Laceby.
The final destination for the cable - serving Ørsted’s Hornsea Two offshore wind farm - is the National Grid substation at North Killingholme.
It was intended that the finds made by excavators Network Archaeology would have been exhibited between 2pm and 7pm next Monday at the Bannatyne Health Club in Humberston.
In advance of the event, Mike Wood from Network Archaeology said: “This is a great chance for us to share what we have found on the project with the communities who live nearby.
"We are also able to share stories about the people who used to live here.”
Similar enthusiasm was sounded by Imran Nawaz, Stakeholder Advisor and Community Benefit Fund Manager for Ørsted.
Said he: “We welcome members of our local community to attend a fantastic opportunity for people to see first-hand some of the fascinating archaeological finds from along our cable route and to speak to the experts who will be able to share knowledge on the history of the local area.”
But on Monday of this week, the event was mysteriously called off.
A statement from Ørsted read: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has now been postponed.
"A new date will be announced shortly."
