Early Thame: Archaeological Investigations at Oxford Road, Thame, Oxfordshire 2015 (Hardback)

Volume 1: The Early Neolithic and Iron Age

Volume 1 of a two volume series. 

Excavations by Oxford Cotswold Archaeology (OCA),  during 2015 at Oxford Road, Thame revealed activity from the Neolithic to the Late Saxon period. This has now been published by OCA in two illustrated volumes. Volume 1 describes how Early Neolithic pits and a three-circuit causewayed enclosure – possibly one of the largest known – were succeeded by later prehistoric activity including an extensive Early Iron Age settlement. This included structures and numerous pits, some of which contained notable deposits of material involving pottery, animal remains and other finds. A small cemetery included the remains of at least 13 people.
