Laboratory for Molecular Biology, Robinson Way, Cambridge. An Archaeological Excavation

Abstract

Cambridge Archaeological Unit undertook an open area excavation on the site for the Laboratory for Molecular Biology between 12th September and 31st October 2008. The excavation identified a significant amount of archaeology including a substantial L shaped enclosure with a possible sub enclosure probably dating to the Roman period and a series of Early to Middle Anglo Saxon features including a sunken floored building, which is quite rare in the South Cambridge area. Also present was a considerable amount of evidence for significant Bronze Age activity within the area.
