Archaeological excavations were carried out at the east end of RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk. The archaeological horizons were well preserved. Underlying these was a deposit of windblown sand, likely built up during the medieval and post-medieval periods. Underlying the windblown material was a deposit of humose-enriched coversand, which contained concentrations of Beaker pottery and worked flint, particularly in its lower horizon, alongside heat altered flint and stone, and very low levels of calcinated bone and snail shell. The finds assemblage was composed of material that suggested domestic dumps of material that had been transported from its primary production and use areas, but was unlikely to have been moved far, suggesting nearby occupation. Environmental and soil analysis suggested that the soil was the result of deforestation of the landscape, with heathland taking over, indicated by the pollen profile and podsolisation of the coversand. There was a suggestion from the soil structure, pollen and macrofossils that there was tillage/ cultivation occurring locally and that soil was being imported to the site. Natural features, interpreted as root hollows, were excavated and found to also contain artefacts and ecofacts similar in composition to the soil layers, and it is interpreted that this suggests deliberate deforestation, or at least management and levelling of the soil horizons, possibly further indicating agricultural practices. It has been difficult to directly tie the possible tillage/land management to the Beaker occupation, but it is considered likely that they are associated. Excavations to the north-west uncovered a freeze thaw deposit and natural hollow/mere.
