Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Bronze Age roundhouse found on the sports field of Reading Girls’ School, to the south of central Reading, is among several Bronze Age sites in the Kennet Valley, an area of southern England intensively occupied in prehistoric times. While the Reading Girls’ School roundhouse shares architectural similarities with roundhouse structures at nearby settlements, it is spatially isolated from them. Further, the deliberate placement of a shattered pottery vessel in a posthole suggests early adoption of formal house closures recorded at some Middle Bronze Age sites, but more typical of sites dating to the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. The presence of ritual house closure deposits at an isolated roundhouse suggests some prehistoric peoples navigated the societal changes of the Bronze Age by rejecting certain conventions while adopting others. | |||
