| Abstract: |
The report was a potential treasure report to the Coroner, concerning the discovery of the inhumation popularly known as the Amesbury Archer. Gold objects were recovered, along with a large flint assemblage and Beaker pottery. The discovery of another burial at a later date, also involving gold objects, was also reported. These were assigned to the Early Bronze Age, c. 2300 BC. A Romano-Brtish inhumation cemetery was also encountered, but not fully excavated. [Au(adp)] |
