Abstract

Further excavations at Fin Cop and stable isotope analysis of the skeletons
Waddington, C. & Montgomery, J. (pp. 22-65)

The main results and discussion of the Fin Cop investigations has been published elsewhere (Waddington 2012). This paper presents the results from a further excavation trench (Trench 9) cut across the southeast corner of the rampart during the summers of 2012 and 2014 by Archaeological Research Services Ltd with the help of local volunteers and, for the 2012 season only, with the assistance of Cranfi eld University as part of their student fi eldwork training. The trench was extended by 2m in a southerly direction during the 2014 season. The excavation followed directly on from the investigations undertaken by Archaeological Research Services Ltd and the Longstone Local History Group during 2009 and 2010. The partial remains of at least 6 human individuals comprising two adults, one perinate and three neonates were identifi ed in the rampart destruction deposit within the fi ll of the hillfort ditch in Trench 9. Small fragments of animal bone were also found in the hillfort ditch and within the stone wall core comprising remains of cattle, sheep/goat, rabbit/hare and a possible rat. Botanical macrofossils and charred wood were also present, together with a few small pottery fragments and a small assemblage of residual chipped stone tools resulting from Stone Age activity on the site. Strontium, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis was undertaken on teeth and bone from four adults, a juvenile, two infants and fi ve peri/neonates that were retrieved from the various excavation campaigns. The carbon and nitrogen isotopes of the adults indicate a mixed diet of terrestrial C3 plants and animal protein which is in line with contemporaneous Iron Age populations in Britain. More variation was observed in the sub-adults which may be related to breastfeeding or prenatal stress. Strontium and oxygen isotopes of fi ve of the individuals indicate that only one adult was consistent with origins on the limestone of the White Peak and three individuals were consistent with sedimentary regions within 20 miles. One adult female has an unusually high strontium isotope ratio which is indicative of origins in a granitic terrain.

Abstract

Bar Brook mills: the transition from smelt mill to slag mill
Goodinson, A. (pp. 175-197)

This report summarises a central component of research undertaken for a recent master’s thesis. The research examines the 17th-19th century Bar Brook lead mills near Baslow, Derbyshire. Using existing survey plans, measured survey, archival research and published sources a clearer insight into function and chronology of the mills materialised. The results demonstrate current scheduling complexity, signifi cant earthworks and structures while highlighting signifi cant survey work by the late L. H. Butcher. The chronology presents a smelt mill (Site 1), followed by a slag mill (Site 2) with a related cupola; a corn mill and pumping station later adopting the area of Site 1, following the slag mill transition downstream. The study recommends that scheduling is clarifi ed and extended to include Site 1, and the work of L. H. Butcher is digitised fully to aid future research. Further research is also recommended to support the chronology and determine the environmental and landscape impacts.
