Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
During archaeological work on the route of a pipeline across the Avonmouth Levels, evidence for Romano-British activity was encountered in four locations. An extensive rural settlement was occupied during the second and mid-third centuries on the Levels' edge at Farm Lane, near Easter Compton. At Lower Knole Farm, near Almondsbury, a late-first-/second-century ditch was sealed beneath a sequence of colluvial and alluvial deposits. Further evidence for late Roman occupation was recovered in two locations at Crook's Marsh, further out on the Levels near the coast, where previous investigations have documented second- to fourth-century enclosures and field systems. A suite of techniques has been used to reconstruct past environmental conditions at Farm Lane and Crook's Marsh, and the implications of this evidence for the history of Romano-British land use on the Avonmouth Levels are discussed. Principally, it has been possible to address the extend to which the area was subject to tidal inundation in the past and the strategies that may have been used to cope with or modify the high salt-marsh environment.
