Abstract:
Three trends are identified that have made a difference to the nature of archaeological excavation in Cornwall over the last twenty-five years: the change in planning policy that has seen developer-funded investigations become the norm where archaeological remains are affected by development; an increase in the scale of investigations and excavations; and regular and consistent sampling for environmental analysis and scientific dating. Ten key excavations that have made a real difference to knowledge and understanding are then highlighted, comprising: prehistoric settlement at Richard Lander School and Truro College, Higher Besore; a Middle Bronze Age settlement at Trethellan, Newquay; an Early Neolithic tor enclosure at Helman Tor; prehistoric and Romano-British settlement along the A30 Fraddon to Indian Queens bypass; an Iron Age ceremonial site at Hay Close, St Newlyn East; post-Roman occupation on Tintagel Island; post-Roman to post-medieval remains at Tintagel Churchyard; an Iron Age burial at Bryher, Scilly; Romano-British and early medieval settlement at Duckpool, Morwenstow; and a medieval collegiate church at Glasney, Penryn. Some themes that have been poorly explored by excavation are also mentioned. LD
