Site Event/Activity record ESF15387 - Excavations, Queen's Chamber, Abbey of St Edmund, by DoE/HBMC (Fleming, A. & Woods, H.)

GIS MAPPING APPROX LOCATION (based on Whittingham's map locating the Queen's Chamber) The fieldwork seasons were hampered by very dry summers which made digging difficult. The results of the excavations remain unpublished, although brief summaries were published in Medieval Archaeology (Webster and Cheery 1980, 240) and in English Heritage's regular radiocarbon round-ups (Bayliss et al., 45–9), while the excavator delivered a lecture on the subject to the British Archaeological Association conference in Bury St Edmunds in April 1994. A considerable amount of post-excavation analysis has been undertaken on the material from the site, primarily by the English Heritage Laboratory, including detailed faunal analyses, the production of publication-quality plans and sections, and a suite of radiocarbon dates. The excavation archive has been consolidated and microfilmed and is currently held in the English Heritage Collection at Wrest Park.
