Abstract: |
An assessment has jusr been undertaken of the Blackstone excavation archive created during fieldwork on an Iron Age enclosure overlooking the River Severn in the 1970s in advance of quarrying in north Worcestershire. The fieldwork featured advanced use of techniques for the gathering of environmental data about the site and its region. The archive is valuable archaeologically as there has been little archaeological work in this region of north Worcestershire since, and besides remains of Iron Age date are relatively uncommon across this part of the Midlands. This project has a strong potential to also address a range of research priorities identified for the west Midlands, and for aggregates producing landscapes in Worcestershire. The project will also fulfil ASLF objectives by maximising the benefit of earlier work towards a better understanding of the Iron Age period so as to make future management more effective. |
