Specialist Reports & Further Details

Please note: we are in the process of replacing the Nosterfield section of the APC web site with a broader based section relating to the wider landscape. The Nosterfield section is therefore discontinued, and new reports will be posted via the Thornborough web pages.

This page is designed to act as a gateway to various specialist reports and further data which have been developed from the archaeological work on the Nosterfield site. The reports represent ongoing work, not definitive statements, and have been produced over a period of more than ten years to advise the excavators. They will continue to be developed as work on the site progresses and the views they contain will no doubt be reviewed in light of the ever expanding body of data being accumulated from fieldwork. Ultimately they will form part of the site archive and contribute to the final report.

Please see the contributors & acknowledgements page for details of the various authors and organizations who have produced the reports. The following more detailed reports are available on-line, listed below by category:
