Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reports the results of fieldwalking, test-pitting, geophysical survey and limited excavation of selected areas and features on the southern slope of the hill below the enclosure. Lithic densities were surprisingly low -- probably the result of a century of flint collecting across the area (including the Kendall-Keiller collection of predominantly Later Neo material). Geophysical survey indicated a number of sub-soil features and excavation in selected areas showed one small concentration of Early Neo pits and one small concentration of Late Neo pits. The pits were mostly unweathered and backfilled, and contained deposits of artefacts and animal bone. Both sets contained the remains of wild and domesticated resources, though the earlier pits had more cereal remains, possibly the result of deliberate burning. The relationship of the earlier pits to the enclosure is not known, though the activity in them bears resemblances to that seen in the enclosure ditches. How the activity of both phases relates to wider patterns in the area remains unclear, though the evidence recovered does not support a model of fully sedentary existence in either phase. Both earlier and later pits contain the remains of domestic activity, including flintworking and the processing of meat and plant foods. The later pits and the bulk of the lithic scatter may also mark the continuation of a tradition of special visits to a special place. | ||||||||||||||||
