Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In February 2000, ploughing disturbed the capstone of a cist, located on the side of a prominent knowe at Rameldry Farm. Excavation revealed a short cist which contained the crouched inhumation of a man aged forty to fifty, who had suffered from arthritis, some tooth loss and possibly Paget's Disease. He had been buried wearing a garment adorned with six V-perforated buttons. five of these are of Whitby jet (including one with unique decoration including inlaid tin); the sixth is of the mineral lizardite, and has an enigmatic coating, possibly a glaze. Behind his shoulder was a dagger, of `Milston type (East Kennet variant)'; it had had a fancy horn hilt and a scabbard lined with animal skin. The scabbard yielded two AMS radiocarbon dates, with a mean value of 2280--1970 cal BC at 2-sigma range. Includes sections on: Introduction; The human bone; The V-perforated buttons; The dagger: introduction and description; The dagger: metallurgical analysis; Discussion and conclusions (including a contribution on links with central Europe). | |||||||||||||
