The Marcham Excavation Data Archive is now accessible online

The eleven seasons of excavations at Marcham (aka Frilford) comprised nearly fifty trenches and produced a nationally important collection of structures and material culture. The unusual Iron Age enclosures are overlain by a stone-built Romano-British temple, and a remarkably well-preserved unusual arena (theatre/amphitheatre hybrid) together with several shrines. Material culture included c. 250,000 sherds of pottery, c. 22,000 pieces of animal bone, over 2,500 Romano-British coins and over sixty copper-alloy brooches. The site records comprise information on thousands of contexts and c. 4,000 excavation photographs.

This data archive gives access to all data files (over 160 spreadsheets) and a variety of reports (over 100 pdfs) which should enable a good understanding of the site and its development through time as well as the opportunity for the data to be re-used and incorporated into new research.
