Abstract: |
In the late 1800s-early 1900s the Iron Age site Glastonbury Lake Village, Godney, Somerset (Scheduled Monument 406) was subjected to extensive excavations by Bulleid and Gray (1911, 1917). This was followed more recently in 1984 by Coles et al (1988), and then in the summer of 2014 when excavations led by R. Brunning (South West Heritage Trust ref. 71/2014; Historic England ref. Pr6989) were carried out in order to i) assess the condition of the in situ archaeological remains, ii) derive a more-detailed chronology and iii) to initiate longterm hydrological monitoring. As part of this most-recent work, a series of waterlogged wood samples were taken for wood identifications, condition assessment, dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating. Over 300 samples were recovered from the trenches that targeted settlement mounds and palisade features, as well as a wood reburial site where Bulleid and Gray had reburied timbers from their excavations. |
