Introduction
This collection comprises the Digital Archive (a report, site records, images, spreadsheets a site drawing and a site plan) from an archaeological watching brief carried out by John Moore Heritage Services on a development site encompassing plots of Regent House; Alexandra House; 2A, 2B, and Chequers Court, Station Road; and the land to the rear of The Moors, in Thatcham, West Berkshire (NGR SU 51863 67266).
One prehistoric pit was encountered, containing a large quantity of Middle Bronze Age pottery sherds, representing six distinct vessels. A ditch and three other pits of potential archaeological significance were uncovered but these were undated. All other observed deposits and features were modern.
The archive comprises a number of inter-related documents generated during fieldwork and post-excavation phases of the project. The documents include the final report, primary context records and drawings, artefact and ecofact data. The material archive contains pottery and light residue from flotation. Documentary and Finds Archives are deposited with the West Berkshire Museum.
The Digital Archive comprises a selection of the digital files generated during the fieldwork and post-excavation phases of the project. Files include digitised primary records, reports, digitised drawings and illustrations, digital photographs, finds records, GIS data.
