Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Strung along the western bank of the River Cam and extending westwards towards the modern village of Landbeach, to the north of Cambridge, are some of the region’s most notable cropmarks. They lie in an area well-known for its association with Roman settlement and industry. Archaeological work at Limes Farm in 1999 targeted one such complex. Here, surface collection above the cropmarks was limited to Roman material, although the excavation of two small areas unexpectedly revealed the complex remains of a later Iron Age settlement (spanning the Middle to Late Iron Age, c. 350 BC to AD 50). Other trenches confirmed the presence of features mapped by aerial photography, revealing that many are indeed of Roman date. Beyond providing important evidence for the origins and development of these notable cropmarks, the results of the fieldwork expose some of the challenges inherent in attempting to understand such extensive and complex sites through programmes of fieldwalking and small-scale excavation. | |||||||||
