| Collection Title | Data from an Archaeological Excavation at Widmore Farm, Oxfordshire, 2020-2022 (HS2 Phase One) |
| Description | This collection comprises photographs, GIS, spreadsheets, scanned site records and drawings from an archaeological excavation by INFRA Archaeology at Widmore Farm, Oxfordshire between November 2020 and February 2021. The archaeological works successfully identified a number of features, principally evidence of early to middle Iron Age occupation within the site, including the remains of at least five roundhouses with associated pits and postholes, as well as an associated system of enclosure and/or boundary ditches. Further analysis is recommended for several finds assemblages including the worked stone (detailed analysis), burnt stone (detailed analysis and lipids), and wood (species ID and radiocarbon dating). The data produced by this work could help us understand where domestic cereal processing was happening on site, contribute to our understanding of the local economy, and make some inferences regarding woodland reconstruction. This data from the excavation in addition to any produced by further work should be compared to sites from the wider area, such as Finmere Quarry to the south-east of the site. |
