Hinterlands and Inlands: the archaeology of west Cambridge and Roman Cambridge revisited

Despite the title, this book is about far more than the archaeology of Roman Cambridge and its western hinterland. It includes associated research into human landscape evolution, historiography, and biography, as well as a history of the 20th-century development of the university, and the homes and activities of its academics and antiquarians. Supported by a large corpus of illustrations, photographs, and tables, seven chapters deliver detailed evidence from a series of ‘town sites’ and those in its rural hinterland, excavated over the last 30 years by Cambridge Archaeological Unit, the university’s commercial field unit.
