Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reports on excavations undertaken on a small cliff terrace on the peninsula off the north-west Cornish coast. The site lies below the `Middle Terrace', where C A R Radford excavated a building in the 1930s. The latest work uncovered several phases of ephemeral stone and turf structures with associated hearths, floors, and stakeholes. Occupation phases were separated by levelling deposits, and the latest phase was buried under layers of landslip. The section on artefacts begins with `Non-ceramic finds' by Colleen Batey (66--74), which includes reports on: slate (such as firelighters and discs/lids); undated (but conceivably IA) `Flint' (71) and `Worked quartz' both by Colleen Batey & Antony Pollard; other worked stone; metal (iron and lead) `Industrial debris' by Colleen Batey & Effie Photos-Jones (72--3); `Glass' by Hilary E M Cool (73--4); and `Charcoal' by Colleen Batey & Vanessa Straker (74). A report on the `Ceramics' by Carl M Thorpe (74--82) covers RB native wares and post-Roman Mediterranean imports. `The ecofactual assemblage' is discussed by Rowena Gale (83--108) and incorporates: `Charcoal from hearths, floors, layers and stakeholes' by Rowena Gale & Vanessa Straker (101--6); `Bone fragments' by Sebastian Payne (106--7); and `Burnt bone recovered from samples' by Simon Mays (107--8). `The radiocarbon dating programme' is discussed by Alex Bayliss & Rachel Harry (108--15) -- an innovative mathematical modelling technique produced date ranges for three phases of activity (within a maximum range AD 395--670). Appendices provide details of recorded finds and environmental samples (126--35). | |||||||||||||
