Abstract: |
Further excavations were carried out to the north and south of the Rotherwas Access Road by Herefordshire Archaeology and Worcestershire Archaeology Service in 2010. The aim of the excavation was to further investigate the remains of the Neolithic/Bronze Age structure known as the Rotherwas Ribbon. Five 30m x 3m evaluation trenches were excavated along the possible extension of the Rotherwas Ribbon. The investigation process included appropriate programmes of geoarchaeological and palaeoenvironmental sampling and analysis, and an OSL (Optically Stimulated Luminsecent dating) sampling prgramme. The results revealed multi-period archaeological deposits dating from at least the Mesolithic to the Roman periods. The project also involved collection of high resolution LiDAR survey data for a 1.5 km x 1 km area centred on the site of the Neolithic/Bronze Age monument known as the 'Rotherwas Ribbon'. The resulting digital terrain model was inconclusive in terms of revealing any potential extension of the Ribbon linear hollow, but did provide a detailed record and enhanced understanding of a relic medieval field system in the vicinity. |
