Love's Farm lies on the claylands in western Cambridgeshire. Fieldwork conducted over 60ha by CAMARC (now Oxford Archaeology East), followed geophysical survey, fieldwalking and evaluation. This extensive project permitted archaeological examination of a later prehistoric and Roman agricultural landscape on an unprecedented scale in the county.
Excavations by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit in 1999 and 2000 on a housing development site off West Fen Road, to the west of Ely city centre, produced abundant evidence for Mid and Late Saxon and medieval settlement.
From February 2003 to March 2005, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a programme of archaeological work in King's Lynn comprising evaluation, strip and map, excavation and watching brief integrated with the redevelopment of the Vancouver Centre and the construction of the Clough Lane multi-storey car park.
Excavations produced evidence for human activity spanning three millennia. Well-preserved environmental evidence and large assemblages of animal bone and crop waste allowed comparison of farming practices over time.
Dernford Farm lay on river terrace gravels in the Cam/Granta valley. Fieldwork by Archaeological Solutions Ltd, in advance of gravel extraction, revealed evidence for occupation from the Neolithic period, to the Middle Iron Age and early Roman times, to Early Saxon times.
Excavations at East Winch on the Greensand Belt in north-west Norfolk, revealed a Romano-British pottery production site - part of the Nar Valley industry - as well as more limited evidence of iron smelting and possible habitation. Tightly dated imports within the pottery assemblage help to develop a chronology for the Nar Valley industry.
A long-term, low-cost rescue project was undertaken in response to gravel quarrying at Maxey between 1983 and 1990. Throughout, the archaeological focus was the more or less concurrent excavation taking place at the Etton causewayed enclosure, a site which was effectively a central point within this part of the lower Welland valley.
Small farms and roadside or green-edge settlements were typical of the medieval claylands in Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk. These types of dispersed settlement are well known from documentary records and field survey but few have been subject to modern open-area excavation and the recovery of detailed structural, economic and environmental evidence.
Construction of a water supply pipeline in Cambridgeshire provided an opportunity to sample the prehistoric landscape along a transect that crossed several major geological boundaries.
