Abstract: |
This report presents results from two Bronze Age barrow cemeteries (sites 6099, 9585, 9794) with Iron Age occupation, Saxon burials and Late Saxon deposits; from Beaker and Iron Age domestic features and a Roman iron-smelting furnace; and from a section through palaeo-channel sediments in the Yare Valley (site 9589). Pre-barrow natural features produced pine charcoal and hazel, hawthorn-type and Prunus. Cremations and other deposits produced macrofossils derived from Arrhenatheretum grassland with sparse cereal remains. Beaker pits included charred emmer, hulled and naked barley, hazelnut shell and crabapple fragments. Iron Age features produced sparse cereal remains (emmer, spelt, barley) and hazel nuts. The smelting furnace was fuelled partly with broom and ling, indicating heathland locally. Upper ring-ditch fills produced some Late Saxon carbonised plant material. In the Yare Valley coarse mineral sedimentation with weed seeds, charcoal and carbonised cereal remains is related to an (as yet undated) phase of intensive agriculture. Au |
