Activity: The Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) was established with the Department in 1990 to create a bridge between academic and commercial archaeology in Britain. Over thirty years, it has grown into one of the UK’s leading archaeological units.
Based in Cambridge, and working in the surrounding counties, the CAU has developed particular expertise in wetland and urban archaeology, with a research focus on the Fenland, Cambridge and its hinterlands. Most of the CAU’s projects are undertaken ahead of housing development, roads construction, and quarrying. Its investigations range from small urban sites to wide rural landscapes. Some projects for long-standing clients have now run for several decades.
