Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This paper presents summary results of a recently completed review of developer-funded excavation within Currently Occupied Rural Settlements (CORS) in Leicestershire and Rutland. The broad aim was to synthesise the archaeological evidence from these projects to provide an accessible overview and a framework for analysis, interpretation and comparison. Of the fifty or so sites that have produced evidence approximately fifteen could be given 'case study' status, based on their size, the archaeological information they have produced and their potential for future exploration. Despite the variable size of individual projects, each positive result has contributed information towards understanding of the origins, functions and growth of rural settlement in the region. Furthermore, each offers information on a settlement that survived, at a time when others were going into terminal decline, and is therefore representative of the successful majority. The results of these projects highlight the extent to which undisturbed archaeological remains can survive within CORS, and provide comparable evidence to that recovered from excavations on deserted sites. | ||
