Abstract:
From the 1st to 5th September Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation at 14 Woollards Lane, Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire (TL 4625 5197). The archaeological background for the site suggested that there was a high potential for medieval to post medieval archaeology on the site, given its location close to the medieval village core. The evaluation revealed three phases of activity on the site. The earliest phase encountered can be dated to the medieval period, and relates to a ditch terminus and a pit located in the southern end of trench 1. Analysis of the soil samples taken from these features has revealed evidence of direct deposition of food processing waste into ditch 1004 and pit 1006 while they were open represented by charred grains and small charcoal fragments. Pit 1006 also contained 2 fish vertebrae further representing the deposition of food waste It is likely that the above all relates to domestic activity associated with the former medieval core of the village. The second phase dates to the post-medieval period, with a series of larger pits located on the western end of trench 1. Pits 1019, 1021 and 1023 have all been dated from the 16th to 18th centuries, based on the pottery assemblages recovered from their fills. The third phase of activity is the formation of the soil layer 1002 and 1015, which based on the ceramic evidence can be dated to the 19th to 20th centuries The archaeological evaluation has been successful in characterising the archaeology located at the site. The main potential for the site was centred on the medieval and post-medieval periods which is represented by the features and finds recovered.
