Abstract: |
An excavation to the rear of 6 Rectory Road, Bluntisham revealed a series of pits, ditches and postholes representing several phases of activity from the Bronze Age to the early Roman period. One pit contained Beaker pottery and some human and animal bones. Most of the activity dated to the late Iron Age/early Roman period, with ditches and pits suggesting the existence of a farmstead lying mainly off site. There was a crouched inhumation of late Iron Age date. A few features, including a pit containing burials of a goose and a dog, were dated to the later 1st or earlier 2nd century AD. |
