Abstract: |
The retrieval exercise proved successful and also highlighted the potential of the undisturbed areas of this site. The two Romano-British sherds are likely to have been associated with the cremation cemetery, which was only partially explored in 1850-1880 and may cover a large area. The recovery of an assemblage of Mesolithic flintwork and presumably contemporary fire fractured flints, shows that this sandy outcrop was a focus for activity during this period. This would have been an ideal location to exploit the resources provided by the sea, the River Ouse and the Seaford downland. |
