Abstract: |
The current evaluation located a single later prehistoric feature in the form of a partially exposed segment of ditch (or possibly pit) in the northern area of the site. The feature produced an assemblage of 26 pot sherds dated to the early Iron Age and may have represented a boundary or enclosure ditch on the eastern edge of the development site and adjacent to the existing stream. The evaluation site was shown to be underlain by Pleistocene fluvial deposits containing significant Palaeolithic archaeological evidence. No Palaeolithic artefacts were found but the deposits were shown to contain a range of significant biological evidence including mammalian remains, molluscs, plant micro-fossils, insects and ostracods. Previous work at the study area has also identified two Wooly Mamouth tusks, later prehistoric features (ditches and pits), as well as fluvial deposits containing cold climate faunal and molluscan remains.[Au(abr)] |
