Abstract:
NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Mott MacDonald, on behalf of Norfolk County Council, to carry out a programme of archaeological works ahead of construction of a park and ride terminal close to the village of Postwick, near Norwich, Norfolk (TG 2912 0829). The development site encompassed an area of 8.15 hectares and was subject to planning requirements set by Norfolk County Council (Y/5/2009/5019). A trial trench evaluation, an excavation and a watching brief were carried out at intervals between April 2013 and June 2015. A sequence of past activity was represented by ditches, enclosures, pits and a ring-ditch. Although the majority of these were undated, they were thought to be of Neolithic-Bronze Age date, and many were identifiable as crop-mark features on aerial photographs. Small quantities of archaeological finds were recovered, including an assemblage of Mesolithic worked flint, and a few sherds of Anglo-Saxon, medieval and later pottery; in some cases the later finds dated excavated features. This report forms an assessment of the excavated data and reviews the potential of the stratigraphic sequence and the archaeological finds recovered in relation to the original written scheme of investigation. The methodology and resource requirements needed to bring the project to completion are summarised. Proposals for a programme of post-excavation analysis and publication are presented based on a series of revised research objectives formulated from the original project aims, combined with the assessment of the potential of the recovered data.
