Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The author argues that, in contrast to research into the wetland prehistory of the Somerset Moors and Levels, the wetland archaeology for the historic periods of the region has been less well known and reliant on mostly non-wetland sources of information such as documentary evidence, cartographic studies and inferences made from dry land archaeological sites. The study attempts to correct this percieved imbalance by outlining palynological and radiocarbon evidence obtained in the last fifteen years from Godney Moor, which suggests that palaeoenvironmental evidence may survive in at least certain parts of the region. Furthermore, data are highlighted from an earlier study made in the 1940s to 50s, which indicate that more palaeoenvironmental information for the post-Roman period can be discerned in previous studies if these findings are re-examined in the light of recent advances in knowledge. | |
