Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This is the third interim report on a project investigating the ecology of coastal environments and the interplay between natural factors and human agency in the period c. 6500-3500 Cal BC. During 2003 the excavation of a group of later Mesolithic activity areas at Goldcliff East was completed. The areas investigated included an area with heat-fractured stones, a probable hearth with evidence for aurochs butchery, an area with a concentration of fish bones (many calcined) and places where peat had accumulated within Mesolithic activity areas. Further evidence was found for the burning of oak trees. Animal footprints were found within the Mesolithic settlement area and there were abundant human and animal footprints in overlying banded silts. The origins and seasonality of this banding are examined. A floating dendrochronological sequence for the upper Submerged Forest is reported. Further palaeoecological work has been carried out at Redwick, where there is evidence of fire but no Mesolithic settlement. | |||||||||
