Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire - Archaeological Excavation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-08-01
Subjects: Anglo-Saxon Hall, Anglo-Saxon Settlement, Prehistoric Enclosure
The excavation, comprising four trenches, confirmed the location of several features previously identified from aerial photographs, but also demonstrated the limitations of both aerial photographs and geophysical survey data in the precise identification of features. Two trenches over a feature (structure 500), identified from aerial photographs and interpreted as an Anglo-Saxon ‘Great Hall’, [...]

Piercebridge, County Durham - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-06-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Artefacts, Romano-British Defences, Romano-British Settlement, Romano-British Structure
The evaluation located a previously unknown area of activity to the north-west of the fort, dating to the 2nd century AD, although the precise nature of the activity in this area was not conclusive. The types of domestic refuse recovered would be consistent with civilian settlement, although a large area of cobbling could imply a more official or military structure. The alignment of features in [...]

A large cellared [...]

Subjects: Marine Archaeology, Wreck Site
The Thames estuary has been a major artery for communication and trade within south-eastern Britain and the wider world for most of human history. The remains of boats, ships and their former contents are important evidence of past societies and their ability to organise and operate systems of economic, trade, social and military contact at every scale from local to global. From the outset of [...]
Baliscate Chapel, Isle of Mull - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-01-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Religious Site, Early Medieval Structure
Time Team’s work was able to confirm that the Site was a chapel, which consisted of a timber phase with at least one associated burial. The burial produced a radiocarbon date of 610-690 cal. AD, placing it potentially within the lifetime of St. Adomnán, the ninth Abbot of Iona and biographer of St. Columba. The timber phase was replaced by a stone phase with an associated leacht, a stone [...]
