Abstract: |
Early prehistoric pits produced only charcoal though one pit tentatively dated to the Middle Iron Age included charred hazel nutshell, sloe and hawthorn fruitstones, an assemblage more characteristic in this area of the Neolithic, suggesting dating should be reconsidered. Middle Iron Age pits included charred remains of emmer, spelt and barley with weed seeds, apparently domestic assemblages. Planking at the base of a Late Iron Age burial pit was preserved mainly by ferrimanganiferous replacement. A `pyre' deposit of Late Iron Age date included cremated bone, charcoal, tubers, rhizomatous material, moss stem, and fruits/seeds of Sieglingia and Montia. This resembles assemblages widely reported from Bronze Age cremations and represents grassland vegetation either uprooted or kindling or charred in situ. Au |
