Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Wessex Archaeology was invited by MoD Land Agency to excavate and observe four sites along the line of a proposed gas main between Durrington and Netheravon. Two sites revealed prehistoric and Roman evidence and two produced little of archaeological interest. <p>At the first site, Figheldean, excavations revealed substantial evidence for a first- to fourth-century Roman rural settlement on the site of an Iron Age enclosure, and some evidence of Bronze Age activity, including ploughed-out round barrows. A number of inhumations were found which probably date to the Bronze Age and Roman period. The finds reports begin with five by L N Mepham: `The pottery' (25--34), `The ceramic building material' (34), `The fired clay' slabs (34--5), `The metal objects' (34--6), and `The stone' (36). Phil Harding reports on `The flint' (37--39). A section on `The animal bone` (38 & 40) by J Egerton, C Fitzgerald & C Gamble, is followed by a discussion of `The worked bone' (35 & 40) by L N Mepham before A V C Jenkins reports on `The human bone' (41--2). Environmental evidence is analysed by Joy Ede in `Carbonised seed remains' (42--5) and by Michael J Allen & Sarah F Wyles covering `The land-use history: the molluscan evidence' (45--50).<p>At the second site, near Durrington, a trench was cut across the ditch of another Iron Age enclosure, the Packway Enclosure, which had been excavated in 1968. The report on `The pottery' (55) from the site is by L N Mepham. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
