Description ▲
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).
