Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Archaeological recording in 2007 along the route of a sewage transfer pipeline between Sennen and Porthcurno in West Penwith identified a number of features, including a Beaker-period structure and other features dating to between about 2400 and 2100 BC. The structure was lightly built and may have been associated with seasonal occupation. A small cereal assemblage and stonework for specialised grain processing suggest that cultivation was undertaken in the area. This is the first Beaker structure of third millennium cal BC date to be recorded in the south-west peninsula. Early Bronze Age activity around a stone setting was also discovered, suggesting ritualised activity which included the deposition of stone objects around a distinctive arrangement of boulders. A scatter of Bronze Age pits and spreads of prehistoric lithics were also recorded. The article includes discussion of the wider context of the most significant discoveries from the pipeline route. | ||||||||||||||
