Abstract
Excavations at La Hougue Bie, Jersey: first interim report
Mark A Patton
Olga Finch
632 - 646
Three years of excavation are planned at this passage grave, one of the largest and best preserved in Europe, which was last excavated in 1924. The first season's work showed the covering cairn to be particularly well preserved. Contrary to comparison with similar sites and the results of the geophysical surveys, it was not of stepped construction and consisted of smaller stones than usual. A later earth terrace was probably deposited to counter the cairn's resulting instability. Subsequent work aims to explore the Neolithic land surface in front of and beneath the façade. The project was also planned as a major exercise in the presentation of archaeology to the public, with audio-visual displays and guided tours during the excavations, and possible partial restoration of the site.
Archaeological investigations at Hamptonne, Saint Lawrence: third interim report, 1991
Warwick Rodwell
670 - 678
Excavations carried out alongside restoration of the buildings continued to explore the garden and the lost East Range, revealing part of the main courtyard dating to the sixteenth or early-seventeenth century. The foundations and substructure of a possible dipping-well were found beneath the floor of one East Range room, perhaps dating from the 1630 refurbishment of the buildings. The pre-domestic function of the Syvret building, which dates from 1834, was clarified by the location of the foundations of an apple crusher. The imprint of an earlier crusher, half under the Syvret building and half under the farmyard, helped explain the narrow building recorded on the site by the Richmond map of 1795 (see also 91/882 & 92/765).
La Hougue des Geonnais, Jersey, Channel Islands: an interim report on the 1985--1989 seasons of excavations
Stéphane J Rault
Sinclair Forrest
691 - 710
Five seasons' work at this megalithic passage-dolmen have revealed the backfilled remains of a large dolmen beneath the known chamber, with which it shares several uprights. The later structure extends westwards into an arc of dry-walling which may originally have filled the gaps between the uprights. It is possible that there was a considerable delay between the destruction of the first phase, which may be of later Mesolithic date, and the construction of the second chamber and mound, from which Middle Neolithic pottery was recovered. The exact function of the monument remains unclear and the site fell into disuse in the mid third millennium BC. An appendix by Mark Patton (702--9) describes the `Prehistoric material from La Hougue des Geonnais' which consists of pottery, flint, worked stone (including parts of three granite querns from the matrix of the cairn) and some bone.
