Excavations in the Burghfield Area Berkshire

Four sites excavated by Wessex Archaeology on the gravels of the River Kennet over the last ten years produced evidence for occupation, burial, and riverside activities from the Mesolithic to post-medieval periods. The sites are: Field Farm, Burghfield, Berkshire; Shortheath Lane, Abbotts Farm, Sulhamstead; Anslow's Cottages, Burghfield; Theale industrial site. Subtitled 'Developments in the Bronze Age and Saxon landscapes', the final chapter of the report discusses the four sites together to provide a clearer picture of the area's changing archaeology.
