Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The excavation has revealed evidence for what is one of the best-preserved Mesolithic structures found in the British Isles. Twenty one radiocarbon dates have been obtained from deposits within the structure producing a calibrated date for construction of c.7800 (cal.). The structure has filled up with successive lenses of debris representing what appears to be long-lived occupation. A discrete assemblage of over 16,000 lithics has been recovered from within the structure belonging to a narrow blade-based industry. In particular there are large quantities of microliths, including many scalene triangles and backed blades, together with scrapers, awls, cores and flakes. This flintwork is particularly noteworthy as it is a stratigraphically discrete assemblage and contains no intrusive material that may otherwise distort analysis. | ||||||||||||||||
