Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on the site of the proposed southern extension of Jackdaw Crag Quarry, near Tadcaster. The work followed on from a geophysical survey which revealed the presence of a previously unrecorded landscape of former enclosure, field systems and trackways. A total of 20 trenches were targeted upon geophysical anomalies, sampling a range of archaeological features and deposits. The results indicate that the earliest activity took place in the pre-Roman Iron Age, most tangibly demonstrated in the form of a human burial that has been radiocarbon dated to 400-210 cal. BC. The main period of exploitation, as represented by the pottery appears to have been in the early to mid second century around 120-160 AD. |
