Abstract:		 The Cambridge Archaeological Unit undertook an archaeological evaluation in December 2014 and January 2015 at Clare College, Cambridge, located principally in the Old Court and front court areas of the college. This consisted principally of four trenches covering 24 square metres; additionally a number of geotechnical window samples and test pits were monitored. The investigations provided information on the heights of natural deposits and revealed limited evidence for pre-collegiate activity. All four trenches successfully located structural remains associated with the western and eastern ranges of the medieval college that were probably constructed in the 14th century. This allows the location of the medieval college buildings to be accurately located. Although the medieval buildings had been heavily robbed, largely to foundation level, the nature of their surviving foundations was examined and material recovered from later demolition related deposits provides significant insights into the nature of the medieval college buildings. Assemblages of clay tobacco pipe, pottery, animal bone and other material recovered from the mid-17th to mid-18th century demolition related deposits probably relate primarily to the college population of this period and shed considerable light on their material culture, diet etc.
