| Abstract: |
Details excavation of a domestic settlement that had two phases of occupation, provisionally dated by pottery to the Early and Late Neolithic. The earliest phase was characterised by the existence of two circular structures defined by walls constructed of stakes, central posts, and east-facing entranceways. This phase was accompanied by four substantial pits and the recovery of carinated bowls, fine red ware, and pitchstone. The second phase of occupation was marked by a transition to smaller oval structures, also constructed of stakes, with no marked entrance and few internal features. This phase was accompanied by a series of shallower pits, some defined by stakeholes, and the recovery of comb-impressed ware. There are notes on: `Coarse stone tools' by Kevin Taylor (29), `Lithics' by Michael Donnelly (29--30), and `Pottery' by Andy Jones (30). Contexts, photographs, drawings, and finds are listed under `Archival appendices' (36--55). |
