Archaeological Excavations on the Route of the A27 Westhampnett Bypass West Sussex, 1992: Volume 1: Late Upper Palaeolithic-Anglo-Saxon (Wessex Archaeology Reports)

Five main excavations and a number of smaller ones were undertaken in advance of the construction of the A27 Westhampnett Bypass near Chichester, West Sussex, in 1992. This volume presents the evidence for settlement and related evidence that spans 11,000 years from the Late Upper Palaeolithic to the medieval. The sites examined included a Late Upper Palaeolithic palaeosol, two early Mesolithic residential base camps, isolated Early and Late Neolithic pits, an Early Bronze Age barrow and a Middle Bronze Age settlement, a Middle Iron Age settlement, an unusual Romano-British enclosure of unknown function, perhaps a shrine, and an Anglo-Saxon Sunken-Featured building. These excavations provide the first archaeological transect across part of the West Sussex Coastal Plain and provide a useful contrast to the well-explored Sussex Downs immediately to the north. The Iron Age, Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon cemeteries are published in volume 2.

My friend Mel runs the official website for the actor Alexander Siddig, probably best know in the states for his work as Dr. Bashir on Star Trek: Deep Space-9. We he heard that Mel was going to be in London, he invited us to come and visit him at his home in West Sussex. Sid lives on this wonderful old farm (like from the 17th Century). Many of the original buildings are still standing. Mel and I stayed in the main house, where Sid's stepfather lives. The house has been added onto many times over the past several hundred years and you can see that in the different ceiling and floor heights. Sid lives in one of the barns, which has been converted into living space. At the time we were there, he was in the middle of trying get plans approved by the historical society for converting one of the other barns into living space.
