| Abstract: |
Article on the identification of a rare and still little-understood type of archaeological site dating from 1000--700BC, consisting of large amounts of artefacts and animal bone buried within a layer of blackened earth, sometimes so thick and extensive as to create a small hill. The authors report on the excavation of one such site at Whitchurch in the West Midlands, with evidence for smithing and unexpected quantities of bronze metalwork that includes miniature axeheads. |
