| Abstract: |
Wood from seven hurdle panels and a piece of basketry associated with the complex of fish--traps at this site have been examined. The hurdles were constructed mainly of birch, oak, and willow/sallow roundwood stems with some hazel. Stems showed conspicuously slow growth rates. Plots of age/size distributions do not show tight clustering of points, as would be expected in roundwood from a single stand of managed roundwood. The large quantities of wood used at the site must, however, come from managed woodlands. It is therefore thought that wood from more than one source was stockpiled for use in hurdle construction. The basketry was made of hazel roundwood stems, 1--3 years old at cutting and very neatly trimmed by longitudinal cuts to give uniformly sized stems. The fragment could be part of a fish--basket. |
