    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 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.

    NEWSLETTER 141 Summer/Autumn 2017

    NEWSLETTER 141 Summer/Autumn 2017 GLOSARCH FIELDWORK Pittville Park by James Hodsdon In preparation for helping Cheltenham Borough Council draw up proposals for improving the surroundings of the Pump Room, the Friends of Pittville (FoP), a local amenity group, wanted to establish what if anything remained of the short flight of steps which once terminated the broad walk which until the 1890s ran up towards the Pump Room from the Upper Lake. The steps are visible on maps and postcards up to about 1900. The two plinths which bookended the steps are still there but now appear rather insignificant because the ground level has been built up over the years. The solution was to do some practical archaeology, and at 9 a.m. on 20 April several FoP members took a break from normal Thursday park duties. Under the supervision of Gloucestershire Archaeology experts Les Comtesse, Terry Moore-Scott and Nigel Spry, and with CBC in attendance, three test pits were opened, each roughly 1.5m sq, one each next to the east and west plinths, and one half way between. Because of the dry weather, the soil under the turf proved hard going, and we were over two hours in before any intelligible features came to light (not counting bottle caps, old lighters, confetti, etc). It was pretty clear that the stone steps themselves had gone – very probably between 1891, when we know the broad walk was turfed over, and 1900 when the bandstand was placed centrally between the plinths (a short-lived Bad Idea, corrected when the bandstand was shifted to its present location a year later).

We are delighted to be launching our new strategy to take us to 2020 (see opposite), with the ambition of being the leading heritage practice focused on delivering high-quality archaeological projects, providing good value for our clients, communicating exciting and up-to-date information to the public, and being a stimulating, safe and rewarding place to work. Our vision is to be at the forefront of advancing knowledge about the past and working in partnership with others for public benefit. A key element of the strategy is communication, both externally and internally. Since March 2007, we have produced 30 in-house magazines, one every quarter in printed and digital formats, and each packed with project news, in addition to providing information for staff on employment matters. Over time, they have become more glossy, but the challenge has been deciding what to exclude, not how to fill the space.
