Dense pasts: settlement archaeology after Fox's The archaeology of the Cambridge region (1923)
www.cambridge.org
Cyril Fox’s ‘The Archaeology of the Cambridge Region’ was published 100 years ago, a milestone in landscape archaeology. In a paper published in Antiquity, we compare the evidence available to Fox in 1923 with 30 years of development-led archaeology.

Wandlebury (again) for #hillfortswednesday, showing archive material in MAA. The map contains info up to 1955, with 'site' locations. As a multi-authored landscape, there seems to be a slight question mark over Wandlebury's status as a hillfort penned in the map's margins: '7. Wandlebury Henge?'.

Wandlebury (again) #HillfortsWednesday - geophysical survey taking place, across the interior this week, including in the field with Clark’s 1950s excavations. And a cheeky photo of an autumnal outer ditch. Why not?!

A misty morning in April 2024 oblique of Wandlebury hillfort, just outside Cambridge. The venue for the University of Cambridge’s training excavation. Just about to carry out a geophysical survey of the interior. Thought it is a good shout for #hillfortswednesday!
