Abstract: |
This Early to Mid Iron Age enclosure, (with one Late Bronze Age pit) was one of a series of later prehistoric and Roman settlements excavated in advance of the construction of the new Stansted terminal. Samples produced low densities of cereal remains, sparse weed seeds and some rosaceous fruits and hazelnut shells. There is no evidence for large-scale crop processing; the material present could indicate small-scale domestic processing of batches of cereals obtained by exchange with sites on lighter soils. Not until the Roman period at Stansted is there evidence implying large-scale arable farming on the boulder clay. |
