Introduction: The Nene Washes and their hydrological and archaeological context
This paper presents work completed at a Bronze Age barrow cemetery in the east of England. It also draws on elements from earlier research by one of the authors at the nearby site of Flag Fen, a Bronze Age site of international importance, to demonstrate the usefulness of geophysical survey, and in particular, frequency domain electromagnetic induction, in the monitoring and management of archaeological sites, and particularly those in lowland wet landscapes. The survey was carried out within the context of the Nene Washes between the edge of Peterborough and Whittlesey operating as a flood storage area (since the 16th century). The area within the Washes is deliberately flooded by water diverted from the River Nene during periods of high rainfall, or when local waterways overtop their banks and drain i...
