Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
During the course of archaeological fieldwork along the De Lank water pipeline a number of boundaries of probable later prehistoric and medieval origin were recorded in section, and a peat deposit was identified on the northern side of the De Lank River below a field system which had been identified as having prehistoric origins and which had been used throughout the medieval period. The study of the boundaries and the radiocarbon dating and analysis of the peat deposit provided information about changes to the landscape over the millennia and the impact of nearby prehistoric and medieval settlement on the immediate locale. A radiocarbon date of 1880--1630 cal BC was obtained from the base of the peat. The results from the pollen analysis indicate that although there was some evidence for limited cereal cultivation and tree coverage, grassland has been the dominant environment since the Bronze Age. It is therefore probable that primary pastoral agricultural practices, rather than cultivation, were associated with the Middle Bronze Age settlements which are found in the vicinity. | |||||||||||||||||||
