Abstract: |
Four fields (27.5ha) were walked during the first season of fieldwalking of a transect of the Nottinghamshire Claylands. A surprisingly large amount of struck flint (35 pieces) was recovered. The floodplain density was low with the slope and undulating mudstone plateau higher with some indications of clustering of lithics on the plateau. A low density of Romano-British pottery (8 sherds) extended on to the heavy clay soils and was not just confined to the adjacent light and freely drained gravel soils. Clusters of fire-cracked pebbles were found in two fields, together with lower density spreads which was perhaps indicative of later prehistoric and/or early historic activities. 19 sherds of medieval pottery were recovered. There were no apparent concentrations of this material.. [Au(abr)] |
