Digital Archive from Archaeological Evaluation and Excavation at Highfield Farm Borrow Pit, Rougham, Suffolk, 2016

This collection consists of images, databases, and a vector graphic from an evaluation and excavation by Suffolk Archaeology CIC (now Cotswold Archaeology). Work occurred at Highfield Farm, Rougham, Suffolk and was undertaken on the site of a proposed borrow pit, in 2016. Two broad phases of archaeological activity have been identified at the site. The evidence is primarily associated with prehistoric domestic activities, characterised by the presence of Beaker assemblages, and Middle Iron Age material. The primary function of the site seems to be food preparation and production. Wheats, legumes and charred peas were cultivated and processed by the occupants of the site, probably on a small domestic level, and burnt animal bones are probably the remains of meat waste. There is also some evidence for stone tool production.
