Abstract: |
Areas of the Late Upper Palaeolithic and Early Mesolithic artefact scatters in the soil/sedimentary sequence at Uxbridge were studied through soil micromorphology and bulk analyses at three locations. Some inferences on the nature of late last glacial sediment ripening and biological activity are discussed, and some details of the alluvial gley soil contemporary with Early Mesolithic occupation are described. Late Upper Palaeolithic material underwent some one to two thousand years of biological reworking, whereas most of the Early Mesolithic artefacts were little affected by biological turbation before being buried by alluvium. Alluviation seems to have coincided with abundant fine charcoal input, perhaps associated with Early Mesolithic burning of the Boreal pine forest. Neolithic to Medieval influences on the site are also discussed. Au |
