Abstract:		 Further excavations, borings, pollen analyses and radiocarbon determinations provide a better understanding of the trackways of the early 3rd millennium BC. Exposures made during river works on Chilton Moor showed that seven major and six minor trackways run from the Burtle sand beds towards a valley in the Polden Hills. Examination of an intersection showed onetrack to be a spur from another. Unstable fen wood conditions persisted longer here than elsewhere in the Levels and new trackways had to be built. Pollen analyses at three sites show a clear LLndnam phase with elm decline and weeds of cultivation, and this agricultural activity was close at hand; evidence of hazel coppice management was also obtained. The complete series of Neolithic finds and C14 dates for the Levels in 3rd millennium BC is collected together and discussed in terms of sequence. Clearly cultivators as well as hunter-gatherers were exploiting the marsh and the varied light soils around it, and the trackways may also have carried trade items such as stone axes.
