Abstract:		 Archaeological trial trench evaluation in advance of housing development at Beck Row, Mildenhall has identified substantial and well preserved evidence of Roman occupation across an area of up to 3ha, an extension to deposits previously identified at a series of adjacent excavations. Occupation appears to have largely developed from the 2nd century and continued through to the end of the Roman period. The density of deposits and presence of a preserved Roman soil horizon through many of the trenches indicates a focus for domestic activity, supported by a sizeable finds assemblage which includes Roman roof tile and two complete copper alloy objects, a statuette and bowl. Remaining trenches contained a widespread scatter of ditches and pits indicating broader agricultural or domestic activity around this focus. Scattered evidence was also identified of a low intensity phase of prehistoric activity, most likely early Iron Age in date, of which part was associated with the natural infilling of one of the hollows that are known to have formed a typical feature of the prehistoric landscape. Recommendations have been made for the full excavation of areas to be affected by development, c.3ha in total, to preserve by record all archaeological and palaeo-environmental evidence upon the site, and it is suggested that the results could be published as part of an overall synthesis including the adjacent excavations.
