Abstract: |
In October 2009, an archaeological strip, map and sample excavation was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology on land at Potton Road, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. Areas measuring 20m by 10m and 10m by 10m were excavated in the vicinity of two trenches from an earlier evaluation. One area was targeted on three known Neolithic pits and another was targeted on a late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pit. Both areas were extended but no archaeological features beyond those previously identified were present. The previously unexcavated Neolithic pit produced multiple sherds that make up about a quarter of a Peterborough ware Mortlake bowl. |
