Overview

Oxford Archaeology East has been commissioned by English Heritage through the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF) to carry out an assessment of all archaeological records and interventions arising from hard and soft aggregates extraction within the county of Cambridgeshire.

The Backlogs Project methodology and database was initially developed by ARCUS for a pilot project of this type encompassing the counties of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Museum of London Archaeology have subsequently refined the methodology and database. Much of the methodology is based on the MOLA methodology which is itself a revision of the ARCUS methodology.

The project comprised a rapid desk-based assessment of existing information only, and therefore excluded fieldwork and site visits to assess primary archives. The assessment included locating projects through the review of published articles and notes in local journals, examination of publicly available databases of archaeological projects, and consultation with the HER and HER advisor. Sources consulted included:

  • Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Record
  • An Archaeological Survey of the Cambridgeshire River Gravels (French & Wait 1988)
  • Antiquity
  • Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society (PCAS)
  • Victoria County History
