Fengate Revisited: Further Fen-edge Excavations, Bronze Age Fieldsystems and Settlement and the Wyman Abbott/Leeds Archives

by Christopher Evans, with Emma Beadsmoore, Matt Brudenell and Gavin Lucas

This volume outlines the results from three main CAU sites. It calls for a reappraisal of both Fengate's interpretation and the broader Bronze Age fieldsystem 'problem/horizon', and includes a contextual review of Pryor's renowned fieldwork programme of the 1970s. Moreover, a full study is made of Wyman Abbott's recently discovered Peterborough notebooks, which reflects upon the practices of Edwardian archaeology generally and, also, his and E. T. Leeds' investigations within the local landscape, itself amounting to a major contribution to the study of an archaeology of types (i.e. features, pottery and people). 298p (Cambridge Archaeological Unit 2009)

Review Quotes

"This engaging book"

Mike Pitts
British Archaeology (May-June 2010)

"...Fengate Revisited is an exemplary book. It is an initiative that should not only be applauded, but also imitated. The book is a must for archaeologists interested in late prehistory and for archaeological resource managers working at heritage agencies."

Lisbeth Theunissen
European Journal of Archaeology, 14.1-2 (2011)

"... essential for all landscape researchers... contains a thought-provoking discussion of the scale of the challenges confronting landscape archaeologists as well as one of the most beguiling sections to appear in any narrative."

David Yates
Antiquity, vol 84, No. 325 (2010)
