Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Archaeological investigations ahead of development at Holbeck Park Avenue, Barrow-in-Furness, identified a tree-throw hollow containing a significant assemblage of early Neolithic pottery, lithics and a cereal grain, radiocarbon dated to 3950-3800 cal BC. The site represents a very early date for the presence of cereals (evidence for the first farming) and pottery at a national scale. Holbeck Park lies within a cluster of Neolithic sites and lithic scatters, and its environs have been subject to palaeoenvironmental analysis. It is possible, therefore, to interpret the site with reference to the contemporary landscape and discuss it in relation to current academic understandings of the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition, around 4000 cal BC. | |||||||
