Abstract:
Excavations were undertaken by Oxford Archaeology East on the south bank of the River Cam at Brunswick, Cambridge, in advance of development. This provided a rare opportunity to study preserved prehistoric, Roman and medieval land surfaces, flood deposits and hillwash, beneath which were Early Neolithic pits. During the medieval period the land lay adjacent to Barnwell Priory, one of the wealthiest and most important religious establishments in East Anglia. Large quantities of imported soil were dumped here during the 13th to early 16th centuries, perhaps to facilitate farming or to improve access to the river. The dumped material contained a diverse assemblage of finds, including book fittings and iron-working waste.
