Abstract:		 The centenary of Cyril Fox’s publication the Archaeology of the Cambridge Region (ACR) in 1923 by Cambridge University Press is an opportune moment to explore the impact of Fox’s work on the understanding of the Cambridge region, and, writ large, on archaeology itself. Fox was not the first to bring the weight of geography and environment alongside archaeological evidence, but he was first to make a convincing case for its landscape-scale perspective, for dividing the region into areas, and producing a quality series of maps based on conventional periods. In this paper, Fox’s ACR is discussed in terms of what it produced for an understanding of the Cambridge region in the 1920s and how this has changed, but also what impact his approach to landscape brought to the discipline of archaeology, and in what ways this continues to have resonance today.
