About

The Council is seeking a competent contractor to carry out targeted intrusive archaeological excavations at Flag Fen Western Causeway near Peterborough to recover and record fragile Bronze Age wooden post alignment and timber platform remains before further degradation. The work will include characterising the westernmost area of the post alignment through excavation, recording and sampling horizontal and vertical wooden remains for technological assessment and species identification, obtaining samples for scientific dating and palaeoenvironmental analysis, and sampling deposits associated with the post alignment to inform on its use; recent evaluation excavations commissioned by Historic England confirmed that organic remains are degrading. The project will also include a high level of public participation opportunities for local people to take part in aspects of the excavations.
