| Latest from CAFGs fieldwalking 2011/12 |
| Since April 2011 we have completed 22 Sunday morning field walking sessions. This has produced evidence of previously unrecorded sites with Roman pottery and scatters of struck flint in Boxworth, Arrington and Comberton. As part of an exercise of reviewing previous results of
fieldwalking, with the help of Rob Atkins and others at OAEast, we have been looking at pottery we had listed as unidentified, this has significantly improved the rate of identification. We have also
submitted the struck flint from Oily Hall to Lawrence Billington at CAU for a preliminary study, he provisionally reports that much of it is Mesolithic. There are various new fieldwalking projects in
the pipe line for next autumn. |
