Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
From a brief review of the three major categories of Food Vessel, their associations and stratigraphy, two general conclusions may be drawn. First, the datable associations indicate a general contemporaneity with the two phases of the Wessex Culture, currently dated 1650-1400 BC. Secondly, and more obviously, there is a general absence of consistently recurring grave-goods. The only association which is found in any number with Food Vessels is the plano-convex flint knife, with vessels of the Yorkshire Vase series, and this is the only object which one can ascribe to a Food Vessel Culture. Many of the other infrequent associations look like female equipment, but this is belied in a number of cases by the skeletal evidence. None of these objects can be said to be elements of a culture, in the way that archers' equipment is associated with certain Beaker groups for example, but appear simply as products manufactured and traded in Britain in 16th and 15th cents BC which might be purchased by one of a series of culturally interrelated groups rather as were the ground stone axes of an earlier period.
