Abstract: |
Archaeological works undertaken on the route of the new A27 Brighton bypass, designed within a research framework to investigate chalk downland settlement and land-use from the Mesolithic to the present day, and to integrate this into a palaeoenvironmental study. In addition to investigating an area which had previously yielded an important assemblage of Mesolithic and later flintwork (Redhill) and an important block of prehistoric fields (Eastwick Barn), the project located and recorded two important and previously unknown Later Bronze Age settlements (Mile Oak and Downsview). Evidence from buildings at Downsview was later used for experimental work, results and conclusions of which are included in the report. Also included are summary reports of two other excavated Later Bronze Age settlements, Varley Halls and Patcham Fawcett. The palaeoenvironmental studies were successful in documenting changes in the environment and the impact of humans on the landscape. Includes French and German summaries. |
