Reports a radiocarbon date of 2020-1770 cal BC (95% probability) for the probably primary burial from West Overton barrow (originally excavated by Colt Hoare in 1814), obtained as part of the Beaker People Project. The need for further dating is argued. PP-B
Still water, hidden depths; the deposition of Bronze Age metalwork in the Engl...
David Thomas Yates
Richard Bradley
405 - 415
Finds of metalwork always raise the question of why they were deposited: a smith's collection, a concealed hoard or a votive offering? Findspots in water suggest offerings, since they would be awkward to retrieve. But understanding the context of deposition means knowing the prehistoric environment. The Fenland area of England has many Bronze Age sites, and deposits of metalwork and a well-mapped ancient environment too. Putting all three together the authors begin to assemble a grammar of deposition: swords and rapiers in rivers, some mixed collections placed in still water and others on once-dry land with burnt mounds.\r\n
