Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluations were undertaken within areas of the Hinxton Genome Campus extension. Three of the evaluation trenches contained archaeological remains. The most important remains consisted of broken and incomplete wooden artefacts and related wood working debris. One of the fragments of wood was radiocarbon dated and was found to date to between 770 and 1000 AD and suggested an association with the Saxon settlement at Hinxton. The wood of Oak and Ash retrieved were unlikely to have been naturally occurring in this wet environment and pointed to the importation of wood. An undated ditch appeared to mark the boundary between dry and wet land. The survival of wood and other organic materials provided dating and allowed a wider understanding of the local craft industries. [Au(adp)] |
