Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Research excavations were conducted of colluvium in the dry valley of Ashcombe Bottom to the west of Lewes. Colluvial deposits in the centre of the valley were only 1.5 m thick but contained a buried soil on which was a series of parallel ard marks, which were confirmed by soil micromorphological analysis and indicated prehistoric tillage. The colluvium contained a number of sherds of Beaker pottery and at least twenty-six Beaker vessels were represented, indicating a settlement site rather than a funerary monument. Environmental analysis of the sediment provides a broad history of the landscape from the Neolithic period to Middle Bronze Age and spans the construction and disuse of the causewayed enclosure at Offham, and the activity associated with the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age flint scatters recorded in the Houndean--Ashcombe area. The excavation results provide settlement and environmental data which contribute to understanding of the Early Bronze Age prehistoric occupation and use of the Sussex Downs.
