Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Three areas close to M1 Junction 12 were subject to open area excavation. A small cemetery in use from the late Iron Age (early 1st century AD) to the early 2nd century AD was fully excavated. It comprised some fifty urned cremation deposits in shallow pits, typically accompanied by a number of accessory vessels, and a single inhumation burial. A boundary ditch system of the same date had respected the location of the cemetery. An excavated area to the east of the M1 was crossed by a series of Roman boundary ditches spanning the 1st to 2nd/3rd centuries. A single pit contained a little burnt bone and quantities of dark soil, charcoal, burnt stones and burnt clay that may have come from a pyre. An excavated area to the west of the M1 contained an extensive layer of dumped clay which produced a quantity of pottery wasters, dated to the 12th-13th centuries and presumably from a nearby kiln. There was a clay foundation for a timber-framed building and an H-shaped stone foundation for an adjacent small structure, which is dated to the late 15th-16th centuries. This activity is probably related to the documented medieval place name of Nuppings Green, which was perhaps either a single farm or a small settlement.
