Written Scheme of Investigation Summary In August 2016 a trial trench evaluation was undertaken on a piece of land at the rear of 16 High Street, Mildenhall, Suffolk, prior to the construction of new dwellings. Two trenches were excavated within the footprint of the proposed development. The evaluation trenches revealed four phases of activity indicating the site has been in use throughout the medieval period from as early as the 12th century through to modern day. The medieval and early post medieval phases are characterised by a number of pits and postholes associated with the backyard activity of medieval properties. The later post-medieval activity is characterised by the remnants of small brick structures, including an oven.

Introduction In August 2016 Suffolk Archaeology CIC (SACIC) carried out an archaeological evaluation on a piece of land at the rear of the 16 High Street, Mildenhall, Suffolk. The project was commissioned by the client, Steve Watson, and undertaken according to a Brief (dated 12/07/2016) produced by the Archaeological Advisor (AA) to the Local Planning Authority (LPA), Abby Antrobus of Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service (SCCAS), and then addressed by a SACIC Written Scheme of Investigation (Gardiner, 2016; Appendix 7). This evaluation was required under the terms of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), as a condition of planning permission for the development of the site. The relevant planning application reference is DC/15/1876/FUL. The proposed development consists of the construction of new dwellings. The site is located in the Forrest Heath district of Suffolk, in the civil parish of Mildenhall, centred on NGR TL 7100 7467. It is situated in the town centre and consists of a sub- rectangular area, equating 0.1 hectares, bounded by residential development on all sides (Fig. 1). 2. Geology and topography The bedrock geology is described as Holywell Nodular Chalk formation and New Pit Chalk formation, formed approximately 89-100 million years ago in the Cretaceous Period, in warm chalk seas with little sediment input from land (BGS, 2016). The site is flat and lies at an elevation of c.8.6m AOD. 1 3. Archaeology and historical background SCCAS have stated that the site requires archaeological evaluation as it lies in an area of archaeological importance recorded in the Suffolk County Council Historic Environment Record (HER). The site is located behind buildings that would have once fronted onto the medieval market place and in close proximity to the church in the core of historic Mildenhall. Earlier occupation evidence has also been identified in the vicinity of the site, at Recreation Way, with the discovery of large Iron Age enclosure ditches. The full results of a search of the Suffolk HER commissioned as part of the project (Ref No. 9190156) are included in the digital project archive. The table below summarises the HER entries within 500m of the site centre. HER No. Date Nature of Evidence MNL 617 Medieval The medieval historic core of Mildenhall. The site is located within the known boundaries of this area. MNL 329 Post-medieval The location of a post-medieval manor house with some modern alterations. Located 75m to the north of the site. MNL 695 Medieval An undated surface and a medieval posthole was found during monitoring works. Located 160m to the east-northeast of the site MNL 133 Medieval Market Cross, a scheduled monument with medieval origins. Located 60m to the east of the site. MNL 620 Post-medieval An evaluation showed a post-medieval 16th century pit and layers. Located 70m east of the site. MNL 680 Medieval A monitoring showed a late medieval to post-medieval ditch. Located 160m to the east of the site. MNL 746 Post-medieval Post Medieval structural features identified during evaluation trenching at 21 High Street, 100m southeast of the site. MNL 622 Iron Age Excavations at Recreation Way uncovered Iron age features including large ditches and habitation evidence.

Excavations at Home Farm, Laleham in 1997 Graham Hayman In May and June of last year the Surrey County Archaeological Unit undertook excavations at Home Farm, Laleham, for Greenham Construction Materials Ltd, as part of an archaeological scheme of work approved to comply with the conditions of a Planning Permission for the extraction of gravel. Home Farm Quarry Is being worked In phases over several years, with each phase area being restored to Its agricultural purposes once quarrying Is completed. Work in 1997 was in the Phase 6 area and proceeded as a result of discoveries made during an evaluation by trenching in March 1997. Five areas A to E were excavated. Areas A to C in the south revealed occasional small pits and post-holes, two large water-holes, various ditches, and at least two cremation burials. Most features were sparsely distributed, however, with no significant concentrations; and produced only a few pot sherds and/or pieces of struck flint. Such a paucity of finds made it difficult to date some features, but a provisional assessment is that most were of Bronze Age date, some may be Neolithic, and at least one ditch was probably Roman.

  • Surrey-Hampshire Border Ware Ceramics in Seventeenth-Century
    SURREY-HAMPSHIRE BORDER WARE CERAMICS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLISH NORTH AMERICA by © Catherine Margaret Hawkins A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland April 2016 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Surrey-Hampshire Border ware ceramics were among of the most popular and widely used ceramics in southern England. This ceramic, produced along the Surrey-Hampshire border, was also shipped to English colonies in North America throughout the seventeenth century. This thesis will explore the types of vessels uncovered on archaeological sites in Newfoundland, New England and the Chesapeake, and examine the similarities and differences in the forms available to various colonists during this time period. By comparing the collections of Border ware found at various sites it is possible to not only determine what vessel forms are present in Northeastern English North America, but to determine the similarities and differences in vessels based on temporal, geographic, social or economic factors. A comparative study of Border ware also provides information on the socio- economic status of the colonists and on trading networks between England and North America during the seventeenth century. i Acknowledgements Grateful thanks are due first and foremost to my supervisor, Dr. Barry Gaulton, for everything he has done for me over the years. My interest in historical archaeology originated through working with Barry and Dr. Jim Tuck at Ferryland several years ago and I cannot thank him enough for his continued support, enthusiasm, advice and encouragement throughout the course of this research project.

  • MEDIEVAL POTTERY RESEARCH GROUP Newsletter 74 November 2012 ______
    MEDIEVAL POTTERY RESEARCH GROUP newsletter 74 November 2012 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Secretary’s Notes Council met in September at the British Museum had held some very constructive discussions about the future directions which the group’s activities may take. Two topics dominated the agenda, the first of these was training. Alice Forward has undertaken some research into the kinds of specialist and non-specialist training currently available and which might be offered by the group in the future. We welcome any comments from members regarding the kinds of training which you would find useful and any comments on this subject should be addressed to the president. The second issue relates to the maintaining of standards, particularly within reports produced from developer-led projects. Central to this is co-operation with our Prehistoric and Roman colleagues in the production of joint standards, which can be easily disseminated to local authority curators. A need for non-specialist training into these standards was identified and we will be pursuing this with our colleagues within the curatorial sector going forward. In November members of the group came together with colleagues from the Association for the History of Glass at a conference held in honour of the late Sarah Jennings. Unfortunately I was unable to attend, but I hear from colleagues that this day was a great success and, more importantly, a fitting tribute to Sarah. Thanks are extended to Julie Edwards and Sarah Paynter for their hard work in organising the conference, and in pushing forward with plans for a festschrift in Sarah’s memory. Additionally, Chris Jarrett is continuing to work on a similar publication in honour of Anna Slowikowski.

    MEDIEVAL POTTERY RESEARCH GROUP newsletter 78 April 2014 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Secretary’s Notes Pipkins are red, Stonewares are blue, Your MPRG Council really needs you! Rather than write the usual set of Secretary’s Notes that goes out in advance of an impending MPRG AGM, this time round I thought I would keep it short and sweet and instead direct you to a separate mailing, coming hot on the heels of this Newsletter, which will shed some light on what drives the Secretary to start penning very bad verse! Council met again at the end of January to discuss and drive on the work of the group. These days there is a great deal to cover in meetings with the wide range of work that the Group is involved in, from managing the John Hurst Travel Fund (see this issue for more information) and liaising with the British Museum over improving access to the Alan Vince Archive, through arranging a new set of Specialist Training Courses for 2015 and developing an online type-series database, to producing the next volume of Medieval Ceramics and making out of print copies of Medieval Ceramics available online via Scribe over the next few months (please check the website for updates). This list doesn’t even cover the work to produce a new Occasional Paper on Medieval Roof Furniture and of course the efforts going into arranging this year’s three-day conference in Lisbon (also see this issue for more information). Sadly these days, with the challenges that we face in funding the work we do for the benefit, not only of the membership, but for the whole of the archaeological community, much of our more recent meetings have focused on reducing costs, maximising funds and finding new ways of doing more with less.
