Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavation along the line of a Wessex Water pipeline to the north of Old Sarum, Salisbury, revealed features on Neolithic to post-medieval date. Thirteen Middle Neolithic pits, in groups of two or three, were found at two locations, containing structured deposits of Peterborough Ware pottery, flints, animal bone, antler and other materials. Radiocarbon dates from four of the pits were statistically identical, although molluscan evidence indicated considerable variation in the landscape, with elements of woodland, scrub and open downland. There was some evidence for Beaker and Early Bronze Age activity, followed by Middle Bronze Age settlement northwest of Old Sarum, with possibly associated human and cow burials, and a Late Bronze Age settlement to the east. A series of Iron Age features indicating specialised activities was found to the east of the entrance to the Old Sarum hillfort, and there were three Late Iron Age/early Romano-British burials in a ditch south of The Portway, one of the Roman roads that converged at Sorviodunum. To the west, Romano-British features were recorded associated with the settlement at Camp Hill. | |||||||||||||||||
