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.
