Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavation of the burnt mound at Cob Lane, one of several discovered in Birmingham in the 1950s and 1960s, revealed a pit, a burnt area and stakeholes under the mound and a former stream channel around it. Palaeoenvironmental evidence indicated grazing animals and also tree clearance which may have resulted in soil erosion and alluvial deposition. More burnt mounds were subsequently found through a systematic search of stream banks and in observations during ground disturbance. In addition to the Cob Lane excavation, stream-bank sections were cleaned and recorded at other sites, and contour and geophysical surveys were undertaken. Radiocarbon dates from charcoal clustered in the period 1700 to 800 cal BC. Consideration of other evidence from the region suggests that this period in south Birmingham follows forest clearance and its environmental impact and precedes land division marked by fixed boundaries. | |||||||||
