Abstract: |
An area excavation took place to investigate a Late Bronze Age settlement that was at threat from a proposed residential development. At least four phases of Late Bronze Age activity were identified and investigated, and these were associated with the occupation of a small settlement at some time between the 10th and the 8th century BC. An important assemblage of Post-Deverel Rimbury Plainware pottery was recovered, and this had provided important new evidence for the regional typology of the tradition. A detailed programme of environmental sampling and assessment produced variable results: plant and animal remains were poorly represented, but the molluscan assemblage had provided some convincing evidence of deteriorating environmental conditions between the first phase of Bronze Age activity and abandonment of the settlement. Following abandonment of the Bronze Age settlement, there was relatively little evidence for continued occupation at the site: post-prehistoric archaeology was restricted to several phases of Romano-British fields systems beneath the scant remains of medieval ridge and furrow.
