Articles in ‘The Searcher’: Dave Derby, NARC, CLASP and Saxon skeletons

Here are two articles by John Winter from The Searcher magazine. They feature our good friend Dave Derby and illustrate the long-term successful collaboration between NARC and CLASP  including the discovery of Saxon skeletons at the Nether Heyford site.

CLASP Iron Age Projects reports now published

Northamptonshire in the Iron Age

At many of the sites where CLASP has worked (including Nether Heyford and Bannaventa), there have been traces of earlier occupation during the Iron Age – however, the main focus of CLASP’s work up to now has tended to be on the Roman-period, since that produced a great deal more enduring archaeology.

These newly uploaded files all cover projects, recently undertaken by teams from CLASP, that are specific to the Iron Age in Northamptonshire.
