Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The traditional image of prehistoric Britain is of a vast, dense forest, which gradually vanished over the centuries as a result of clearance for timber, settlement or agriculture. This image, however, is largely a myth because the evidence on which it was based -- pollen from ancient trees -- is unreliable. In recent years archaeologists have begun to understand the potential that excavated wood has to reveal much more detailed information in a number of areas, some of which are discussed in this article. These include the nature of the environment where trees were grown -- whether of 'wildwood' type or managed woodland; woodworking techniques; how different kinds of trees were used for particular purposes; and how the situation differed at different periods.
