  • Investigating the Origins of Great Easton, Leicestershire: Commumity Archaeology Meets the ‘Big Dig’
    INVESTIGATING THE ORIGINS OF GREAT EASTON, LEICESTERSHIRE: COMMUMITY ARCHAEOLOGY MEETS THE ‘BIG DIG’. Nicholas J. Cooper and Vicki Score On Sunday June 22nd 2003, the inhabitants of Great Easton in the Welland Valley, in southeast Leicestershire, together with professional archaeologists from the University of Leicester and Channel 4’s Time Team, undertook a one-day field work investigation to try to establish the origins of their village and to chart its subsequent development. In conjunction with geophysical survey, a total of 41 metre-square test pits and two machine-excavated trenches were opened up across the village and dug to a maximum depth of 0.6m or until archaeology or natural was encountered (Fig. 1). Pits 14, 23, 35 & 44 were not excavated. Although most of the archaeological features recorded were modern (with the notable exceptions of a late Roman or Early Anglo-Saxon cobbled surface from Test Pit 3 and medieval plot boundaries in Trench 40) the artefactual material from the investigation has added considerably to the existing body of knowledge gathered by the Great Easton Fieldwork Group (Burningham and Wallis 2004, Fig. 1) over the last 20 years. This, along with more recent developer-funded opportunities, allows us to trace this focus of settlement back to the Roman period or later Iron Age (Fig. 2). Analysis of the pottery assemblage and its distribution has confirmed and complemented the findings of earlier work, which suggested the existence of a Roman period settlement (probably with an Iron Age antecedent), in the north- eastern part of the village, on higher ground around the church and immediately to the north in Lount’s Crescent.

  • Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw
    Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw Mick Aston’s passion for involving people in archaeology is reflected in the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund. His determination to make archaeology publicly accessible was realised through his teaching, work on Time Team, and advocating community projects. The Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is therefore intended to encourage voluntary effort in making original contributions to the study and care of the historic environment. Please note that the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is currently open to applicants carrying out work in England and Wales only. Historic Scotland run a similar scheme for projects in Scotland and details can be found at: http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/index/heritage/grants/grants-voluntary-sector- funding.htm. How does the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund work? Voluntary groups and societies, but also individuals, are challenged to put forward proposals for innovative projects that will say something new about the history and archaeology of local surroundings, and thus inform their future care. Proposals will be judged by a panel on their intrinsic quality, and evidence of capacity to see them through successfully. What is the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund panel looking for? First and foremost, the panel is looking for original research. Awards can be to support new work, or to support the completion of research already in progress, for example by paying for a specific piece of analysis or equipment. Projects which work with young people or encourage their participation are especially encouraged. What can funding be used for? In principle, almost anything that is directly related to the actual undertaking of a project.

  • Theme Four: Channel 4 Time Team Artefacts
    THEME FOUR: CHANNEL 4 TIME TEAM ARTEFACTS This section presents the summarised results of seven reports on artefacts recovered during the excavation of three sites by the British Channel 4's Time Team group of archaeologists and historians in late 1998. Two of the sites where they worked focused on historical period or colonial occupation and were looking for information about the workings of sugar production on estates and the lives of slaves (Mountravers) and locating a lost town/port (Jamestown). The third site was prehistoric or Amerindian in date (Coconut Walk). These reports complete the obligation which the Nevis Heritage Project has towards the analysis and reporting of these finds. Each of these summaries is based on an extensive report and detailed archive - copies of which are available in the NHCS library in the Nelson Museum. Some of the reports were prepared by professional archaeologists (Barker, Higgins, Morris, Nokkert), while the others by post-graduate students at the University of Southampton as part of their coursework or dissertations (Cathie, Hardwick). The reports on the animal bones recovered from both Mountravers and Jamestown were written as part of Mark Nokkert’s MA dissertation, comparing variation amongst several faunal assemblages from historical period sites on Nevis, and which is summarized in Theme Three. The reporting of any artefacts which were recovered during this fieldwork but which do not appear here are the responsibility of Peter Bellamy, post- excavation coordinator for Time Team (Nevis). In the future, we hope to include information from all of these reports as part of our continued work on prehistoric, colonial and post-colonial life on Nevis in the form of research publications, and popular booklets (Theme Five).
