Abstract:
An evaluation consisting of forty-three trenches and fifty-seven test pits was carried out on, and in the vicinity of, two Mesolithic and Neolithic flint scatters. These scatters were located either side of a former fenland embayment on the slightly higher ground of the March 'island'. A buried soil sealed by later alluvium contained a quantity of Mesolithic flint as did a handful of features recorded beneath it. This buried soil also contained a Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead. An auger survey and pollen analysis indicated that in Mesolithic times the buried soil would have been in a cleared area beside a small stream which was later subject to the inundation of the fenland saltmarsh as water levels rose. A number of post-medieval linear features were also recorded.
