A great article on the excavations we are managing for This Land at Burwell

Fascinating webinar this evening on the major archaeological excavations we have been managing for Ballymore at Brentford over the last 2 - 3 years. Orion’s Helen MacQuarrie taking part on the Q&A panel taking questions from the public along with members of MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology)’s (our archaeological contractor) project managemet team.

Our excavations of a Bronze Age settlement at Burwell, Cambs, for This Land continue to produce some great results including a mortuary enclosure with an inhumation burial and a pit for a possible marker/totem pole, multiple deep storage pits, lots of post holes of numerous former houses and other buildings as well as late Bronze Age pottery (the ruler on the photo is not Bronze Age!) and other artefacts. The fieldwork is being done for us and This Land by Oxford Archaeology

Archaeological excavations at Burwell, Cambridgeshire, that we are managing for This Land have finally got underway. Looking forward to some interesting Bronze Age archarology in the coming couple of months.

Being excavated carefully in the lab now.
