Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Salvage recording was undertaken on three important sites during the construction of a pipeline from Trimpley to Blackstone. A Mesolithic hunting camp at Lightmarsh Farm produced 1,482 fragments of flint including eighty-eight artefacts typical of the Late Meso narrow-blade industry, in association with features indicating short-term occupation by a small band of hunters. Radiocarbon dating of charred hazelnut shells produced a date in the earlier eighth millennium BC -- an early date for a site characterised by narrow-blade industry. This is one of the few Meso sites in the region to have produced a radiocarbon date and is, as such, a very important discovery. Secondly, a Roman farmstead at Hoarstone Farm represented by a rectilinear ditched enclosure with an entrance on its south side and two possible corn-drying/bread-baking ovens on the east side of the entrance was also discovered. Finds suggested a relatively short period of occupation around the late-third to early-fourth century. Finally, a single adult cremation that had been buried by a pit, was discovered near Hoarstone Lane. Radiocarbon dates indicate a 663--773 AD date range. Cremations, indicative of pagan burial practice during the period, have not previously been found this far north and west within the county. | ||||||||||||||
