Hinterlands and Inlands: The Archaeology of West Cambridge and Roman Cambridge Revisited [Kietas viršelis]

Thinking Hinterlands &; Spanning 25 years of fieldwork across a 3 sq. km swathe on the west side of Cambridge, this and its companion volume present the results of 15 sites, including seven cemeteries. The main focus is on the area&;s prehistoric &;inland&; colonization (particularly its Middle Bronze Age horizon) and the dynamics of its Roman hinterland settlements. The latter involves a variety of farmsteads, a major roadside centre and a villa-estate complex, and the excavation programme represents one of the most comprehensive studies of the Roman countryside anywhere within the lands of its former empire. Appropriately, this book also includes a review of Roman Cambridge, appraising its status as a town.

Thinking Hinterlands – Spanning 25 years of fieldwork across a 3 sq. km swathe on the west side of Cambridge, this and its companion volume present the results of 15 sites, including seven cemeteries. The main focus is on the area’s prehistoric ‘inland’ colonization (particularly its Middle Bronze Age horizon) and the dynamics of its Roman hinterla

Recenzijos

This timely book will be a useful reference guide for researchers dealing with similar hinterland locations of towns and settlements along the Roman road network, and for those wishing to discover aspects of the development of the research campuses of the University of Cambridge. * Current Archaeology *
