Evaluation at Unit 2, St Johns Business Park, Huntingdon
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 16no. trenches, each measuring 30m long by 1.8m wide, in the locations shown on Figure 2. The trenches were located to target geophysical anomalies and to provide a representative sample of the remainder of the Site. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid co-ordinates using Leica GPS. Overburden was stripped from the trenches by a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless grading bucket. All machining was conducted under archaeological supervision to the top of the natural substrate, which was the level at which archaeological features were first encountered. Archaeological features/deposits were investigated, planned and recorded in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual. Deposits were assessed for their palaeoenvironmental potential, and samples were taken in accordance with CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other Samples from Archaeological Sites. Artefacts were processed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 3: Treatment of Finds Immediately after Excavation and Cambridgeshire County Archive Facility guidelines. The Deposition of Archaeological Archives in Cambridgeshire guidelines (CCC 2020) will be consulted regarding the requirements for the deposition of the archive into the County Archive Facility and will be adhered to. CA will make arrangements with the Cambridgeshire County Archive Facility (Event number: ECB6913) for the deposition of the project archive and, subject to agreement with the legal landowner, the artefact collection. A digital archive will also be prepared and deposited with the Archaeology Data Service (ADS). The archives (museum and digital) will be prepared and deposited in accordance with Standard and guidance for the creation, compilation, transfer and deposition of archaeological archives (CIfA 2014; updated October 2020). A summary of information from this project, as set out in Appendix D, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain. In June 2022, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Unit 2, St Johns Business Park, Huntingdon, at the request of SLR consulting. A total of 16 trenches, each measuring 30m long by 1.8m wide trenches were excavated across the c.2.9ha site. The results of the fieldwork broadly confirmed those of a preceding programme of geophysical survey. Archaeological features in the form of ditches, as well as a small number of pits, were encountered at the northern end and within the western portion of the Site and appeared likely to related to a known Late Iron Age/Romano-British settlement previously investigated immediately to the north of the Site (see Archaeological Background, above). The pottery assemblage consisted largely of coarsewares and utilitarian jar forms consistent with low status domestic activity, although few fragments of finer dishes, cups, and flagons were also recovered, confirming the consumption or service of food and/or liquids in the vinicty. The presence of some fineware products from the Lower Nene Valley and both South and Central Gaulish samian production centres suggests a level of access to markets supplying both regional and imported wares. Crop processing and food preparation waste recovered from bulk soil samples further confirm the close proximity of the Site to core areas of domestic settlement activity. The presence of marine oyster shells provides further evidence of food consumption in the vicinity and represents additional evidence for access to markets supplying regional goods Two systems of likely post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation identified by the geophysical survey were also encountered within the trenches, as well as the line of an east/west aligned post-medieval former field boundary ditch which formerly bisected the site.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
