Abstract:		 Two two-day test pit excavations were undertaken in the village of Wisbech St Mary in north Cambridgeshire in 2006 and 2007, as part of the Higher Education Field Academy (HEFA) run by Access Cambridge Archaeology (ACA) out of the Department of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge. Local school children spent two days excavating the test pits; the third day of the HEFA programme was then spent at the University of Cambridge to experience first-hand higher education from a world leading university. The 13 1m square test pits excavated in Wisbech St Mary over the two years yielded evidence for significant Iron Age and Roman activity, particularly in the form of salt making to the east of the current village. Low levels of both medieval and post medieval activity were also recorded, suggesting that the settlement remained small and was not greatly affected by the Black Death during the 14th century. The peak of activity in the village was noted to be during the 19th century.
