Abstract: |
In August 2013 Foundations Archaeology undertook Phase II of a programme of archaeological evaluation on land at Biddenham, Bedfordshire. the excavation and recording of sixteen evaluation trenches within a proposed development site. These trenches were numbered 30-53, but a number of trenches in this series were not opened after agreement with Ben Stephenson of BSA Heritage and Vanessa Clarke of Bedford Borough Council. The trenches were laid out in spaces where the geophysical survey in 2000 showed no, or very little, potential for archaeological remains and complement earlier work focussed on geophysical anomalies. The 2013 evaluation confirmed that almost all trenches contained no significant archaeological features or finds. A small number of features were recorded in Trench 38. None of these features could be dated, as no archaeological material was recovered from any of the excavated fills. The overburden contained very little pottery, with the exception of Modern material which was not retained. |
