Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavation in advance of quarrying on a sand and gravel terrace at North Straiton, Fife, recorded a group of five Bronze Age cremation burials. All were disturbed but the best preserved was associated with a decorated pot in the Food Vessel tradition and an intact accessory vessel. Some 20m--25m away from the cremation pits was a row of postholes, one of which was associated with cremated bone; radiocarbon dating established that it was contemporary with the burials. The association of cremations with a row of posts is compared with the results of excavations at Meldon Bridge, Peebleshire. The spatial organisation of the cemetery is discussed in relation to funerary practices. The site is placed in context with its position on the Straiton plateau, which is rich in cropmarks, and compared to other contemporaneous cemeteries in this part of Fife. | ||||||||||||||||
