| Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief and salvage recording were carried out by Birmingham Archaeology at Hints Quarry, Staffordshire in April 2008. The fieldwork was commissioned by Tarmac PLC in fulfillment of a planning condition imposed by Staffordshire County Council. Previous watching briefs carried out by Birmingham Archaeology have revealed several features from multiple periods. In 2005 an isolated pit containing heat shattered stone and fragments of pottery dated to the Romano-British period was excavated and in 2006 a small Middle Bronze Age cremation (SUERC-12529: 1540-1410 cal. BC) and several pits dating from the Middle Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age. During the course of the watching brief, several more pit features were identified and excavated with only two yielding pottery dating to the Early Bronze Age. |
