Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Two day test pit excavations were undertaken in the village of Great Shelford in south Cambridgeshire for five years between 2006 and 2011, with an additional two years of digging undertaken by the local community in 2012 and 2013. In that time a total of 44 1m square archaeological test pits were excavated by 38 local school children as part of the Higher Education Field Academy (HEFA) programme run by ACA out of the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University o fCambridge, c.115 Archaeology and Anthropology undergraduates at the University of Cambridge and c.10 clients and staff from the charity Red2Green. The test pitting in Great Shelford revealed a range of activity dating from the later prehistoric period through to the modern day, both supporting what has already been found through the parish on the HER as well as providing new evidence. Both the prehistoric and Romano-British activity was identified in the village as a continuation of the settlements recorded on the HER alongside the River Cam and further east around Granhams Farm. Although no evidence for Early Anglo Saxon activity was recorded from the test pits the village was established at this time with the presence of a possible Early Saxon cemetery recorded close to the river at Rectory Farm. The presence of Late Anglo Saxon pottery from a number of the test pits in Great Shelford shows how established the village was by the time of the Norman Invasion and subsequent Domesday Survey.
