Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Archaeological work at Jack Hill, Allithwaite, revealed a cluster of Bronze Age cremation related features and burials containing the cremated human remains of 12 individuals. The site is exceptional for Cumbria because of the number of collared urns found; rarely has the full extent of a Bronze Age cremation cemetery been excavated. None of the burials contained multiple individuals and radiocarbon dates indicate the cemetery's use fell within the period 1944 to 1532 cal BC. None of the features intercut and each burial, as well as the site as a whole, may have been marked in some way. There was no evidence for a covering cairn, ditch or ringwork and the focus of the burials is not evident. The burials show considerable variation in form: some were deposited in upright urns, one urn was inverted, and some burials were unurned. The completeness of cremation and the amount of bone recovered also varied, as did associated pyre goods. | |||||||||
