Abstract: |
Archaeological mitigation works carried out between 2012 and 2015 on land at Stainton Quarry, Furness, Cumbria (NGR SD 2480 7300). The works included five trial-trenches, a metal-detecting survey and a phase of strip, map and record excavation. Early Neolithic pottery, two broken polished stone axes, some worked lithics and charred grain, hazelnut shell and charcoal were recovered. lipid analysis on some of the pottery indicated dairying during the Early Neolithic. Radiocarbon dating and Bayesian modelling indicated activity was between the 40th to 35th centuries BC as well as an earlier presence during the 46th to 45th centuries. Later activity during the Chalcolithic and the Early Bronze Age. |
