Smith Christopher (Ed.). Fisherwick: the Reconstruction of an Iron Age Landscape

BAR Publishing, 1979. — 224 p. — (BAR British Series 61).This volume reports on rescue excavations carried out at four sites threatened with destruction by gravel quarrying. In each case quarrying followed quickly upon the completion of the excavations and the sites are now entirely destroyed. With the exception of the work at SK183098, which was funded by the Department of Classical and Archaeological Studies of the University of Nottingham, the excavations reported upon were carried out as part of the programme of rescue archaeology of the Trent Valley Archaeological Research Committee, (TVARC) and funded by the Department of the Environment.
The sites all lay within the civil parish of Fisherwick in southeast Staffordshire, on the lowest gravel terrace of the river Tame. The Tame is one of the major tributaries of the river Trent and today drains much of the built-up area around Birmingham.
