  • Hazleton Revisited by Alan Saville 2010, Vol
    From the Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society Anatomising an Archaeological Project – Hazleton Revisited by Alan Saville 2010, Vol. 128, 9-27 © The Society and the Author(s) Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 128 (2010), 9–27 Anatomizing an Archaeological Project – Hazleton Revisited By ALAN SAVILLE Presidential Address delivered at Gambier Parry Hall, Highnam, 27 March 2010 Introduction In revisiting the Hazleton excavation project my address has several objectives, most of which I can cast as a series of questions which will form the headings to the following sections into which the talk is subdivided. Firstly, however, I need to provide a brief summary of the Hazleton North excavation. Hazleton was an archaeological excavation project, the fieldwork phase of which was spread over the four years 1979–1982. Hazleton is a small Cotswold village close to the main A40 road, just to the north-west of Northleach and of considerable historical interest, as recently recorded in the Society’s Transactions (Dyer and Aldred 2009). The focus of the excavation was a Neolithic long cairn – known as the Hazleton North barrow (NGR SP 0727 1889) – lying just to the north of the village, an example of a so-called Cotswold-Severn tomb of which there are several well- known Gloucestershire examples, such as Belas Knap and Hetty Pegler’s Tump. These tombs belong to some of the very earliest agricultural communities living in the Cotswolds, dating to almost 6000 years ago, and are a truly remarkable survival of ancient architecture. Barrow Ground Field at Hazleton had two closely sited long cairns, Hazleton North and Hazleton South (Fig.
