Book excerpt: MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) undertook archaeological excavations at Brackmills, Northampton, investigatng part of a large Iron Age settlement and Roman complex farmstead. The remains were very well preserved having, in places, been shielded from later truncaton by colluvial deposits. Earlier remains included a late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pit alignment. The main focus of occupation spanned the middle Iron Age to the late 4th century/early 5th century AD. The initial late middle Iron Age enclosed farmstead was defined by a series of enclosures and boundary features. From the late Iron Age the core of the settlement shifted and the range of activity increased dramatically, both in complexity and density through the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The pottery assemblage associated with the beginning of this development is dominated by utilitarian jars with no clear evidence of higher status activity. Two well preserved pottery kilns date from this period, adding to our understanding of local pottery traditions. Funerary evidence for this period was limited to two late Iron Age/early Roman crouched inhumations, and a small assemblage of disarticulated human bone. By the second century the settlement had developed further, and a well-constructed road surface had been laid, leading to the stone roundhouses at the core of the settlement. The re-establishment or expansion of the farmstead with stone rectangular buildings in the late 3rd to 4th century AD marks a clear shift in the status of the site. Industrial remains included a drying oven. Of note for a rural site were 17 inhumation burials and a single cremation burial. Following the decline of the settlement, there was only a short reoccupation when there was a single sunken featured building. Later the site became part of an open field system in the medieval period.

Book Synopsis Bronze Age Britain by : Michael Parker Pearson
Download or read book Bronze Age Britain written by Michael Parker Pearson and published by Batsford Books. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Neolithic and Bronze Age - a period covering some 4,000 years from the beginnings of farming by stone-using communities to the end of the era in which bronze was an important material for weapons and tools - the face of Britain changed profoundly, from a forest wilderness to a large patchwork of open ground and managed woodland. The axe was replaced as a key symbol, first by the dagger and finally by the sword. The houses of the living came to supplant the tombs of the dead as the most permanent features in the landscape. In this fascinating book, eminent archeologist Michael Parker Pearson looks at the ways in which we can interpret the challenging and tantalising evidence from this prehistoric era. He also examines the various arguments and current theories of archeologist about these times. Drawing on recent discoveries and research, and illustrated with numerous maps, plans, reconstructions and photographs, this book shows what life was like and how it changed during the Neolithic and Bronze Age.

Book Synopsis West Cotton, Raunds by : Andy Chapman
Download or read book West Cotton, Raunds written by Andy Chapman and published by Oxbow Books Limited. This book was released on 2010 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The open area excavation of nearly a half of the small deserted medieval hamlet of West Cotton, Raunds, Northamptonshire has revealed the dynamic processes of constant development in a way that has rarely been achieved on other comparable sites in England. Its origins have been seen to lie in the mid tenth-century plantation of a planned settlement based on regular one-acre plots, which occurred within the political context of the reconquest of eastern England by the Saxon kings and the subsequent reorganisation of settlement and society within the Danelaw. The settlement contained a major holding comprising a timber hall with ancillary buildings and an adjacent watermill, with perhaps a second similar holding and dependent peasants nearby. It was established on the edge of the floodplain at the confluence of a tributary stream with the River Nene, on a major valley-bottom route way. The processes of redevelopment which led to the rebuilding in stone in the twelfth century, as a small Norman manor house; the probable relocation of the manor buildings in the thirteenth century; and its final form in the fourteenth to mid-fifteenth century as a hamlet of peasant tenements have been well documented by the archaeological evidence. In particular, it has been vividly shown how the final form of the settlement, preserved in earthwork, was merely a fairly brief episode at the end of this extended process of development, while the historic evidence provides no hint of the higher-status elements that had formed an integral part of the settlement until the final century of its occupation. Desertion appears to have been a gradual process, with the tenements abandoned one-by-one through a century of economic and social disasters, of which the Black Death was the most notable, as families presumably moved to better quality land then readily available elsewhere. The role of the local environment in the processes of change has also been well documented, with the abandonment of the watermill in the twelfth century resulting from a disruption of the water supply caused by a period of intense flooding and alluviation, when the very survival of the settlement was only ensured by the construction of a protective flood bank. The excavated structural evidence is of high quality, and has provided numerous complete building plans ranging from the timber halls of the tenth and eleventh centuries, through the manor house of the twelfth to thirteenth centuries, to the well-preserved tenements of the fourteenth century. This is complemented by substantial artefact assemblages, and the consideration of the local economy and environment is largely dependent on the analysis of the faunal evidence and the environmental evidence derived from an extensive programme of soil sampling.

Download or read book Life in the Loop written by Mike Luke and published by East Anglian Archaeology. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Biddenham Loop has been the scene of human activity from the Palaeolithic through to the present-day but the majority of the archaeological evidence spans the Neolithic to the early 4th century AD. Apart from two handaxes, probably brought up from deep within the gravel by recent quarrying, no evidence for Palaeolithic activity was recovered. Given that the Biddenham area once had a reputation as a prolific source of material of this date, its absence is explained by the developments relatively limited impact on the underlying gravel terrace. The report looks at each chronological phase individually, and gives a site narrative, with plans and section drawings as well as detailed structural, artefactual and ecofactual data, primarily by 'activity' type.
