Abstract:
An inland kame terrace site extends over some 300-400 m2, with features including fire-spots and a pit and yielding more than 4400 finds of flint (90%), pitchstone (9.4%), quartz, agate, and possible mudstone. The environmental data demonstrate the limitations imposed by soil pollen and charcoal studies but suggest possible hunter-gathering and agricultural activities preceding soil deterioration and peat growth.
