A collection of Late Bronze Age pottery from Green End Road, Chesterton

Research into Cambridge’s later prehistoric pottery collections, curated by the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, has identified a small, largely forgotten, group of Late Bronze Age pottery from Green End Road, Chesterton, accessioned in the early 1930s. Although components of the collection have been illustrated in the intervening years, and assigned varying dates, the group has never been fully published. This paper examines the history of the collection and provides a fully qualified overview of the material. It discusses the date of the pottery and its affinities with other published assemblages from the Cambridge Region. Importantly, it highlights that the group was recovered from the same locale as a large contemporary ‘founder’s hoard’.The work was part funded by a Crowther-Beynon (Musuem of Archaeology and Anthropology) grant orginally recived in 200
