NEW PUBLICATION ALERT
In 2017-18 we worked at 2 sites near Wallingford,
Slade End Farm and Winterbrook, that revealed a
rich prehistoric landscape.
We are very excited to share "Slade End Farm and Winterbrook: Prehistoric Landscapes around Wallingford" bit.ly/4ekajJl

From the Early Neolithic to the Iron Age (from 2,800
years ago to the Roman Invasion), these sites gave us
some really impressive finds that helped us learn a lot
more about human activity in South Oxfordshire.
You can also find the book on Pen and Sword bit.ly/3XJEjqY

On this dreary Autumn day, the glow of the sunshine
and dazzling smiles of the volunteers in the photos
from the community excavation at Weald Hall run by
the #OCAArchTeam makes us feel a little bit warmer
and happier.

Simple lines in the soil? Look more closely!
This aerial view is from the excavations OA carried out in the Cambridge Biomedical Campus/Royal Papworth Hospital area. The darker lines are the multiple phases of boundary and enclosure ditches from the Bronze Age and Roman period

The Bronze Age enclosure was followed by a Roman farmsted. This had extensive cultivation beds (the parallel lines) perhaps once used for growing vegetables, vines or even asparagus! There were also buildings to store and process the crops on site.

It's time for a new White Horse update! This week we finally get to this year's work to restore this fabulous monument. Spoiler: it is about more than fixing the shape of the Horse, and a lot to do with its natural environment.

Ever wondered how Roman Britain worked when it came to feeding and watering the soldiers or sourcing the building materials for housing and infrastructure?
Our colleague Ed Biddulph had a lovely chat with the BBC about Roman industries

As these 2 images of the salt-making facilities at Stanford Wharf show, Roman industry was a big part of people's lives and determined how and where they lived. For a deep dive in the subject check our Knowledge Hub bit.ly/3AaDXSd
