Abstract:		 This report presents the results of the 'Dig and Sow' programme of the excavation of seven 1m square archaeological 'test pits' in the People's Community Garden in the Maidenhall area of Ipswich, in the early autumn of 2011. The excavations were part of 'On Landguard Point' an arts project funded by Arts Council England via its 'Artists taking the Lead' programme for the Cultural Olympiad of the London 2012 Olympic Games. Over a single day, more than 20 people took part in the excavations in Ipswich which produced thousands of finds and provided new evidence for the development of settlement in the area from the prehistoric period onwards. The results of the excavations showed that the landscape in Maidenhall immediately to the west of the River Orwell in Ipswich had likely settlement on site during the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Iron Age and was again settled in the 9th century as the Saxon town expanded further south. This continued through the medieval, when occupation was at its peak until the Black Death swept through the town during the 14th century.
