Abstract:		 The first report on research at Llandevenny detailed the discovery of a new Mesolithic occupation site at the interface between the wetland and the dryland (ST 41258665), located 5 km east of Newport and 7 km northeast of the excavated late Mesolithic sites at Goldcliff. Worked lithic artefacts, including a microlith of late Mesolithic date, and tuff flakes similar to those found in late Mesolithic contexts at Goldcliff, were retrieved in association with charcoal from two main occupation layers sealed by peat (Brown 2002). Pollen, plant macrofossil and micro-charcoal analysis of samples retrieved from the excavation dming 2002 is now complete, and was augmented in May 2003 by further sampling of the Holocene sequence c. 200 m further out onto the wetland. Here, coring located a deep sequence of peat, estuarine clays and basal minerogenics to a depth of c. 7 m. A total peat thickness in excess of 5.5 metres represents the deepest peat sequence to be found on the Gwent Levels (Brown 2002; fig 2). Pollen and microcharcoal analysis on this long sequence (core LL2) is largely complete. The purpose of this short paper is to detail the preliminary results of excavation at Llandevenny during 2003, in particular, analysis of a further assemblage of worked lithic artefacts.
