Abstract: |
Area A at Milton Landfill Site was archaeologically excavated between 14th July and 23rd August 1997 as part of the Cambridgeshire County Council Archaeological Field Unit training excavation. The site was characterised by features representing small timber structures, several pits, a quarry, ditches, a possible trackway and a possible buried soil. Small quantities of pottery were recovered from the possible buried soil and structures in the southern part of the site dating to the Middle Bronze Age. Of particular interest was the Middle Bronze Age date attributed to the structures, which gave the Milton East Waste Site regional importance for that period. Posthole structures dating to the Late Iron Age were much less coherent but a number of other features including ditches and pits could be attributed to this period. The Ditches may have represented a trackway on an east-west orientation. Evidence for occupation continuing into the Roman period came from an area of quarry pitting at the northern end of the site and from parallel ditches which may have represented the continuity of the possible Iron Age trackway (Au). |
