| Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations undertaken for a large extension to the Oxford Science Park produced evidence for the local environment from the late glacial period through to the prehistoric. Evidence for Mesolithic activity on the site was obtained from lithics in later features. Similarly Neolithic, Early Bronze Age, and Mid-Late Bronze Age activity was represented by residual sherds and flints. A pit containing Beaker pottery was located along with three pits of the of the Iron Age including one of the Later Middle Iron Age. Sherds of Early Iron Age pottery were also present. Roman pottery was present on the site both in the form of a general scatter though to have represented manuring of fields and by deliberate selection and importation onto the site by Anglo-Saxons. A settlement of the Anglo-Saxon period was represented by the presence of sunken featured buildings while a medieval farmstead had been destroyed by 19th century quarrying for limestone. [Au] |
