Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
NT 977371 etc. Excavations were carried out in a number of rock shelters and overhangs along Fell Sandstone crag lines in the Wooler region. Site A at Goatscrag proved to be an EBA cemetery yielding four cremation burials, two in Enlarged Food Vessels, amidst abundant pits and ?post-holes. Numbers of probably earlier flints were found. Parallels for the site and pottery are discussed. Goatscrag B yielded similar flints and a number of rock-cut pits possibly connected with the activities at Site A. One site at Roughting Linn yielded only modern material. A second seemed unsuitable on geological grounds, and the same may apply to the Raven's Crag sites investigated. Overhangs at Bowden Doors produced a quantity of flints, and these and the Goatscrag flints are discussed. Some, and possibly all, of this flint material is Mesolithic. Au. Appendices treat pottery, flints, cremated bones and charcoals | ||
