- Summary:
- Major excavations took place in 1991 in the northern extramural settlement of the small Roman town of Alchester, Oxfordshire, in advance of road construction on the A421. These excavations produced Neolithic/ Bronze Age flintwork, residual Beaker material and evidence for a middle Iron Age settlement, as well as extensive activity throughout the Roman period and post-Roman burials. This evidence has been integrated with that from other recent work in the Bicester area and the wider region at large to produce a new framework for understanding the development of the Roman town in its regional context.
