Abstract: |
In November 2016, staff from Wessex Archaeology undertook fieldwalking training on agricultural land to the west of Thorpe Salvin, South Yorkshire, to which the landowner had generously provided access. Approximately 12 hectares of a single field were fieldwalked over a three-day period. All located finds were of post-medieval or modern date and were subsequently discarded. The single exception was a small plano-convex flint knife of probable Early Bronze Age date. Such objects are often recovered from burials or other ceremonial deposits. This single find may therefore be indicative of ritual or votive activity within the vicinity, although no associated finds or monuments are recorded nearby |
