Description: | PRN 70327
Investigation of buried deposits with environmental analysis and radiocarbon dating has produced results consistent with previous findings: that Brayford pool has a stratigraphy stretching back to at least the late Bronze Age, and that sedimentation was predominantly 'natural' in origin until the late Iron Age/early Roman transition. During this phase, land clearance and arable crop cultivation take over (with increasing levels of wheat pollen) leading to the formation of a Roman soil horizon, probably agricultural in origin. The horizon was dated to the 1st to 3rd century AD by pottery retrieved during excavation. {1}{2} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 43 - 300 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
