Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at Site 197, as part of the Abingdon Reservoir Proposals 93/91. It involved machine excavated trenches of specifically targeted areas chosen as a result of previous geophysical and cropmark surveys. The evaluation provided information regarding the date, character and condition of the archaeological features present. A good correlation was observed between the features in the trenches and those indicated by the cropmark survey, but the evaluation was less successful in defining geophysical anomalies. Sections of several features were excavated by hand and pottery evidence recovered from this process showed that features dated to the Bronze Age and Late Iron Age/early Roman periods. Preservation of features and artefacts was generally good. [Au(abr)] |
