Abstract: |
The watching brief revealed seven waterlogged timber pile points in what appeared to be in close association with three sherds of Ebbsfleet Ware Neolithic pottery. If the wood and pottery were found to have been contemporaneous it would have constituted a major find of national importance, as mid-late Neolithic sites with associated organic remains were extremely rare in the British Isles. However, upon analysis, the timbers were seen to have been worked using metal tools which suggested that they may have been of Bronze Age, Iron Age or Saxon, but not Roman or medieval when wider axe blades were used. Dendrochronological analysis was unsuccessful in dating the timbers. [AIP] |
