Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations at Field End, Witchford, have revealed significant evidence of Middle and Late Bronze Age funerary practices,including a mixed cemetery of 35 cremation burials and four inhumations during the Middle Bronze Age and a smaller cemetery of four cremations in the Late Bronze Age. Of note was a grave containing a young female and pre-term neonate, enclosed within an unusual post-built mortuary structure, positioned to the north of the Middle Bronze Age cemetery. Unenclosed settlement also occurred during the Late Bronze Age, characterised by scattered pits, four- and six-post structures and small wells, with the main cluster of features being located close to the contemporary cremations. Sword mould fragments recovered from two separate features, a pit and a well, provide rare evidence of sword production on or near to the site. The funerary and settlement remains are signifi cant in terms of pre-Iron Age land-use on the Isle of Ely, whilst the sword mould fragments provide a tangible link with the wealth of Bronze Age metalwork known from the Isle. | ||||||||||||||||||
