Earliest horse butchers in Europe?
1
An account of the discovery of the remains of a horse, dated to 500,000~BC, in Middle Pleistocene lagoon sediments at Boxgrove (see also 94/1253 et al). Virtually all the bones bore butchery marks and are the earliest such finds from Europe. The associated tool assemblage is also discussed.
Motorway archaeology on schedule
2
A note on the success of a carefully applied sampling strategy used to assess the archaeology along a motorway corridor on the South Downs. Key sites are named.
Bronze Age ancestors to Roman villa?
2
Describes the remains of an LBA flat cremation cemetery and other evidence for prehistoric settlement at Beddingham villa. The history of the villa, and the rich environmental material recoverd from it, are also noted.
Stonehenge bluestones
2
Reports that a recently completed field survey in the Preseli Mountains has failed to find conclusive proof of prehistoric bluestone quarries or axe factories. These findings corroborate an independent geological study.
A Sussex henge
3
Reports on the excavation of the first positively identified henge in the south-eastern counties, at Mile Oak, East Sussex.
Kufic coin copied
3
Notes the identification of a repoussé decorated bronze disc brooch, excavated from Lewes Castle, as a copy of a coin.
Iron Age Gold
3
Notes discovery of a Late Bronze Age or Iron Age gold currency bar and a possible Roman tide mill.
Bronze working on the Downs
3
Sampling of two mounds on the line of the Brighton Bypass, at Mile Oak (East Sussex), has revealed Bronze Age metalworking waste. This is associated with Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery. (See also 94/1343)
Fulling mill discovered
4
Notes the discovery and describes the types of material recovered.
Bronze Age village at Brighton
4
Trial trenching on the line of the bypass has revealed a substantial Late Bronze Age settlement at Downsview. The huts are of a diferent constructional type from those from contemporary Sussex sites. (See also 94/1343)
Celtic fields destroyed
4
Pending partial destruction of this scheduled monument, the fields were surveyed and the lynchets sectioned. The banks were found originally to have consisted of flints. Finds indicate cultivation in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages, which ceased in the Roman period.
Bodiam Castle resurveyed
4
A more accurate survey has revealed that the castle is not square in plan, but a parallelogram.
