Abstract: | The fifth season of fieldwork at Goldcliff concentrated on Iron Age Structure 6 and the Mesolithic site. Structure 6 was fully excavated due to an imminent threat of erosion and preliminary analyses are presented. An adjacent palaeochannel was also sampled. The Mesolithic site is also actively eroding and a trench at right angles to the eroding face was excavated in 1994. Finds distributions and the presence of features indicate an occupation area; post-excavation analysis is on-going. All currently visible intertidal sites and structures have now been surveyed. Recording or small scale strategic excavation also took place at 16 further sites or structures, results including the first evidence for Romano-British activity and drainage on the Caldicot levels. | ||
