The Excavations at Colchester, 1930

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  08 January 2012

Extract

A Note on the work done during 1930 by the Colchester Excavation Committee has already appeared in this Journal (vol. x, pp. 389–90), and on 12th March of this year, a joint paper, introduced by the Director of Excavations, Mr. J. P. Bushe-Fox, F.S.A., was laid before the Society of Antiquaries by the present writer and his colleagues in the field, Mr. M. R. Hull and Mr. J. N. L. Myres, F.S.A. Since then the Committee has resumed and finished one important part of its task: of the great Celtic site of Camulodunum, the portion to be occupied by the new Colchester By-pass road has now been fully explored from end to end. Mr. Hull, in accomplishing what remained from last year of this work between the middle of August and the 1st June (the limiting date arranged with the road authorities), has thus completed the saving of everything of value in this long strip of land from the destruction which the Committee was first formed to avert. Its responsibilities, however, do not end with this.
