Abstract: |
In June and July 2010, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological excavation of land at 12 Pieces Lane, Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire. The primary objective of the project was to preserve the archaeological evidence contained within the site by record and to attempt a reconstruction of the history and use of the site. This small site represents a further addition to the fairly dense Roman period activity known in the area to the north of Cambridge. It provides confirmation of Roman occupation within the area of modern Waterbeach village, which has previously only been represented by two small gullies and a handful of spot-finds. Its main importance, however, is as yet further evidence of pottery production belonging to the Horningsea industry which appears to have been prevalent in this area. The results of the excavation help to demonstrate that there was not a uniform kiln type associated with the Horningsea industry. Slightly different products amongst the pottery assemblage in comparison to other Horningsea sites may reflect chronological progression in production of form types within the Horningsea industry and reflect the nature of production or specialisation of different potters or workshops within the Horningsea industry. The position of this site, located between the river Cam and the Car Dyke suggests that it was placed in order to take advantage of these communication routes into the fenland area. |
