Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Preservation was favourable towards the plant remains at the expense of the faunal. The acid conditions of the site, with the deposition and possible growth of peat, favoured the preservation of wood, wooden objects, seeds, textiles and also pollen. Conditions that caused the almost total destruction of metal objects also largely removed animal bone and shell. An overview of the environmental evidence is followed by specialist reports on soil pollen studies, plant remains, pollen analysis, wood, cereals, weeds of arable and waste ground, plants of grassland, heaths and mires, seaweed, wood tar/pitch and possible bituminous substances, animal bone, insect fauna and molluscs. | |||||
