  • AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION at HAZELRIGG, LANCASTER, 2011–12 John Zant, Jeremy Bradley and Christine Howard-Davis
    AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION AT HAZELRIGG, LANCASTER, 2011–12 John Zant, Jeremy Bradley and Christine Howard-Davis Abstract An archaeological investigation undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North before the installation of a wind turbine at Hazelrigg, near Lancaster University, revealed limited evidence for prehistoric occupation, in the form of stone artefacts and charcoal in the fills of tree-throw holes. Radiocarbon dating of charcoal from these features indicated a likely Bronze Age date for most of this activity. In the later medieval period a complex and possibly extensive system of ditched agricultural enclosures, including stock enclosures, arable fields and trackways, was probably developed during the late twelfth or the thirteenth century. Introduction In 2010 Lancaster University was granted planning permission for the installation of a wind turbine generator together with an access road and other construction features on land at Hazelrigg (centred on SD 4904 5742; Figure 1). At the request of Lancashire County Archaeology Service, an archaeological investigation was undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) on behalf of the University prior to the construction and after a geophysical survey (Stratascan 2010). The fieldwork, which was undertaken intermittently between December 2011 and June 2012, comprised the excavation of 28 evaluation trenches and subsequently the investigation of three larger areas where significant archaeological remains had been revealed. Two of these (Areas 11 and 20), on the line of the access track (Fig. 2), were quite small, with a combined area of about 134m2. However, the third (Area 29) was very much larger, comprising approximately 4300m2. This was in the northern part of the site, encompassing the wind turbine itself, a crane pad and the northern end of the access road.

Set within the context of secondary age phase education in England and Wales (11–16 years old), this paper explores how teachers working within the field of design and technology education acquire new knowledge in STEM; how understanding is developed and subsequently embedded within their practice to support the creation of a diverse STEM-literate society. The purpose being to determine mechanisms by which knowledge acquisition occurs, to reconnoitre potential implications for education and learning at work, including consideration of the role which new technologies play in the development of STEM knowledge within and across contributory STEM subject disciplines. Underpinned by an interpretivist ontology, work presented here builds upon the premise that design and technology is an interdisciplinary educational construct and not viewed as being of equal status to other STEM disciplines including maths and science.
