Description

Knobb's Farm Quarry (Somersham, Cambridgeshire) was excavated by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit in eleven seasons between 2000 and 2010. Results are published in Britannia (2021) and Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society (2020). This archive contains available digital datasets for the site as they were produced at the time: PDFs of the individual grey literature reports (all years except 2008), PDFs of the radiocarbon certificates, and CSV sheets for the Roman pottery analysis (all years), faunal remains (2007–2010), environmental samples (2004–2009), and a summary of the Roman-era human remains. A short description of the contents is provided in the PDF "*Knobbs Farm - digital archive - overview".
