The Archaeology of Medieval Cambridge: highlights from
developer-funded archaeology

Since 1990 numerous developer funded archaeological investigations in Cambridge have greatly improved our understanding of the medieval town. Craig Cessford has worked for the Cambridge Archaeological Unit since 1997 and has directed many of the most significant excavations in Cambridge, including the Grand Arcade site, the Hospital of St John, the Augustinian friary and several colleges. The talk will present many of the most interesting archaeological discoveries from medieval Cambridge.

 

Craig Cessford has worked in archaeology in Cambridgeshire for over 20 years with a particular focus on medieval and later urban archaeology. He is a senior project officer with the Cambridge Archaeological Unit and was a co-investigator on the After the Plague project at the Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge.
