A groundbreaking archaeological project and digital collection, led by MOLA-Headland Infrastructure, has been recognised in the National Archives’ A Year in Archives 2025 publication.
The datasets and results from the archaeological mitigation for the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme were released this year as both an extensive online monograph, published through Internet Archaeology, and a major digital archive, available via the Archaeology Data Service. The results of these excavations represent a significant achievement in what is possible to produce via large scale infrastructure projects.
