Abstract: |
The works uncovered multiple phases of occupation of the site in the form of large cut features, ditches, pits and postholes together with a palaeochannel which is likely to have extended on a north to south alignment towards the west of the site. The majority of the remains date to the Early Neolithic period and were observed on the eastern part of the site. The purpose of these cut features at this time remains uncertain with suggestions of earthworks or monuments a possibility. They contained large quantities of struck flint in the form of blades and tools as well as pottery fragments. A comprehensive environmental sampling strategy was also conducted on fills and layers recorded. A suggestion of later Roman occupation was made from the finding of well-abraded pottery fragments although these may have been residual. A series of post-medieval features were also found on the site. The results suggest occupation from the 'mature' phase of settlement during the Early Neolithic period (mid-4th millennium BCE) in the Lower Thames Valley and are not to be understated in their local and national significance. |
