Stanford in the Vale - The Hidden Past Revealed  Dr David Ashby (2024)

ISBN 978-1-999-3-555-86

Over a 16-year period, Dr David Ashby's community archaeology project in Stanford in the Vale has helped rewrite the history of this English village, making finds dating back 10,000 years.  

Community digs in 63 test pits and 19 evaluation trenches in private gardens and fields have yielded more than 1,000 shards of pottery and unearthed evidence of a previously unknown Neolithic settlement, Iron Age and Roman fortifications and large Saxon settlement. The project has also provided a practical classroom for University of Winchester archaeological students who have helped dig test pits and process the finds.
