Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Sweet Track, the oldest known wooden trackway in Europe at the time of writing, is preserved in situ in a nature reserve under an active system of hydrological management, designed to prevent damage to the monument from desiccation. The English Heritage-funded project, reported in the article, was established to assess the condition of the monument and the effectiveness of the management regime. The results have shown that although the trackway is highly deteriorated it still holds a wealth of archaeological information. The decay of the wood probably occurred gradually over several thousand years but the present regime should be able to ensure its continued survival. | |
