This volume is the first of two reports on archaeological
excavations undertaken ahead of the eastern expansion of Daventry
International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) which lies in the
northern watershed region of Northamptonshire at its border with
Warwickshire. The excavations, covering 178 hectares, recorded one
of the most extensive Iron Age farming settlements yet discovered
in the British Isles. It comprised at least five individual sites
of house clusters and enclosures, spread around the rim of a
shallow valley overlooking around 100 hectares of open pasture. At
its peak between 400 BC and 100 BC the settlement would have
contained up to 100 circular buildings. Volume 1 describes the
excavation of the largest of these individual sites, that at Covert
Farm, Crick, excavated by the Birmingham University Field
Archaeology Unit. From the outset the excavations adopted an
innovative approach to examine social themes in Iron Age studies,
such as relationships with rubbish, fire and water, and the way
life in the settlement may have been experienced by its inhabitants
- themes that are presented and discussed in this book.
