Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
An archaeological excavation undertaken within a small parcel of land on the northern edge of the village of Isleham in north-east Cambridgeshire provided an opportunity to investigate the development of fen edge rural settlement within the context of an inland port. Prehistoric and Roman evidence is sparse, but an increase in the level of site activity began in the Middle Saxon and continued into the medieval period. The archaeology showed that this marginal land was being used for agricultural purposes, for animal husbandry and also for the extraction of clunch. No structural evidence was recorded but the material recovered from the excavation confirms that the site lay close to areas of settlement during the Middle, Late Saxon and medieval periods. This report is divided into two parts; the first summarises the results of the excavation and attempts to place it in an historical and archaeological context. The second part describes in detail the varied and well-preserved ecofactual remains which provide a valuable insight into the natural environment of the fenland margins during the Late Saxon and medieval periods. | ||||||||||||||||||
