A template for increasing public awareness of archaeological investigations associated with mineral workings
ALSF Project Number 3590
Cambridge Archaeological Unit, 2007
The Template for Increasing Public Awareness of Archaeological Investigations Associated with Mineral Workings project was funded by the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund as rebursed by English Heritage. The project was initiated by Hanson Aggregates in conjunction with Cambridge Archaeological Unit of the University of Cambridge. The objective of this intitiative was to increase public awareness of the vast amount of archaeological knowledge and finds arising from investigation works associated with mineral extraction. As such, it essentially involved the public presentation of the results of long-term, archaeological fieldwork programmes at Hanson's Needingworth (Barleycroft Farm/Over), Colne Fen, Earith and Bradley Fen, Whittlesey Quarries. The digital archive consists of the final project report, educational material and an image gallery of artwork and publicity material produced by the project.
