Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The introduction (305-10) summarizes the three categories of work of the Fenland Project: survey, environmental studies, and excavations. David Hall in 'Survey results in the Cambridgeshire Fenland' (pp 311-14) covers prehistoric occupation, buried barrow-fields, IA occupation of Fen islands, RB salterns, and early medieval reclamation. IA settlement on marine silts is described by T Lane in 'Pre-Roman origins for settlement on the Fens of south Lincolnshire' (314-21); P P Hayes covers 'Roman to Saxon in the south Lincolnshire Fens' (321-6) and Bob Silvester the RB and Early and Middle Saxon settlement on marine silts in 'The Norfolk Fens' (326-30). Rog Palmer discusses 'Applications of air photo-archaeology to field-survey results from Thorney, Cambridgeshire' (331-5). Environmental studies are represented by M Waller, 'The Fenland project's environmental programme' (336-43), reporting on litho- and bio-stratigraphical studies and 14C dating, and by C A I French on 'The southwest Fen dyke survey project' (343-8). The five excavation reports are: Ian Hodder & Paul Shand, 'The Haddenham long barrow: an interim statement' (349-53), with several phases of construction of a wooden mortuary chamber (Foulmire Fen); Edward Martin & Peter Murphy, 'West Row Fen, Suffolk: a Bronze Age fen-edge settlement site' (353-8); Edward Martin, 'Swales Fen, Suffolk: a Bronze Age cooking pit' (358-9); Christopher Evans & Dale Serjeantson, 'The backwater economy of a fen-edge community in the Iron Age: the Upper Delphs, Haddenham' (360-70); and R D Carr, A Tester, & P Murphy, 'The Middle Saxon settlement at Staunch Meadow, Brandon' (371-7) summarizing eight seasons' work on a high-status site with a strong ?monastic element. L P Kooijmans concludes with 'A view of the Fens from the Low Countries' (377-80), a review of David Hall's Fenland landscapes and settlement between Peterborough and March (1987).
