DESCRIPTION:The talk will focus on archaeological investigations carried o
 ut between 2004-10 on the lower valley slopes of the River Granta at Linto
 n Village College\, which revealed features and finds representing some fo
 ur and a half thousand years of settlement\, farming and ceremonial use of
  this Granta Valley landscape. Highlights include Late Neolithic Grooved W
 are pits\, remnants of two Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age barrows\, a Mid
 dle to Late Bronze Age enclosure\, traces of Middle/later Iron Age settlem
 ent\, a Roman trackway and field system\, and a small group of Middle Saxo
 n burials – a possible execution cemetery. Furthermore\, five Roman grav
 es including the richly-furnished burial of a child were found at the vill
 age college site in the 1930s. The results (to be published as a monograph
  in the East Anglian Archaeology reports series) will be discussed within 
 the context and topography of the site’s valley setting\, within a bound
 ary zone between three topographically and perhaps culturally distinct reg
 ions in eastern England\, which has no doubt played a role in its developm
 ent and in the character of the archaeology that has survived.
