Abstract:		 Between 10th October and 21st November 2012, Oxford Archaeology East carried out an excavation at Turner's, Fordham, Cambridgeshire, in advance of the construction of a new lorry park. Two Early Bronze Age barrows were excavated revealing the remains of two individuals, each buried with grave goods, and a third individual predating the barrows. The first, a cremation contained within a Collared Urn, with a copper alloy dagger-knife and a pierced bone point and the second, an inhumation, with Beaker pottery and part of a jet-like bracelet. The barrow ditch of the second barrow also contained an inhumation. A pit adjacent to the first barrow and the barrow ditch of the second produced an array of finds including pottery, struck flints, animal bone, disarticulated human remains, chalk spindle whorls, bone pins, bone needles and a possible stone gaming counter. A total of 4760 struck flints were found within the barrow ditch. A fragment of a polished greenstone axe was found within the pit. Between the two barrows a cemetery of 21 cremation burials or cremation related features were excavated. These have been radiocarbon dated to the Late Bronze Age. Cemeteries of this date are currently extremely unusual in Britain, although radiocarbon dating of future discoveries and known prehistoric cremation cemeteries is likely to change this situation. No urns or other grave goods were recovered and the deposits were widely spread out. A single pit towards the edge of this group contained 1.79kg of Late Bronze Age pottery.
