The 2010-11 excavations along Trumpington's riverside proved
extraordinary on a number of accounts. Particularly for its 'dead',
as it included Neolithic barrows (one with a mass interment), a
double Beaker grave and an Early Anglo-Saxon cemetery, with a rich
bed-burial interment in the latter accompanied by a rare gold
cross. Associated settlement remains were recovered with each. Most
significant was the site's Early Iron Age occupation. This yielded
enormous artefact assemblages and was intensively sampled for
economic data, and the depositional dynamics of its pit clusters
are interrogated in depth. Not only does the volume provide a
summary of the development of the now widely investigated greater
Trumpington/ Addenbrooke's landscape - including its major Middle
Bronze Age settlements and an important Late Iron Age complex - but
overviews recent fieldwork results from South Cambridgeshire. Aside
from historiographical-themed Inset sections, (plus an account of
the War Ditches' Anglo-Saxon cemetery and Grantchester's settlement
of that period), there are detailed scientific analyses (e.g. DNA,
isotopic and wear studies of its utilised human bone) and more than
30 radiocarbon dates were achieved. The concluding chapter
critically addresses issues of local continuity and de facto
notions of 'settlement evolution'.
