Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation in advance of a residential development was carried out at Boynds Farm, Inverurie. A number of archaeological features and structures were exposed across the excavation area including six roundhouses, two possible souterrains, a circular enclosure and a small cremation cemetery. One of the cremation pits contained a crude irregular cist containing a sequence of four cremation deposits each separated by flat stones. The finds assemblage from the site includes three ceramic moulds, 403 sherds of prehistoric pottery, over 3kg of industrial waste, two iron finds, 69 lithics and 18 coarse stone objects. The finds date the site to the Bronze and Iron Age and indicate that various processes and activities were taking place on site, including wool spinning, cooking of foodstuffs, bronze casting and ironworking. |
