| Popis: | Archaeology in the Severn Estuary, 12, 55-77 This report describes the results of the postexcavation programme undertaken following fieldwork on two sewers constructed on theWentlooge Level between Cardiff and Newport, South Wales. Three palaeo-surfaces, typically represented by gleyed clays and peats, were identified; two proved to be of Bronze Age date and a third (which was undated) was of more recent age. Palaeoenvironmental analysis of these deposits, and extrapolation from surfaces discovered elsewhere in the Severn Levels, provides the basis for a broad reconstruction of contemporary coastal and near-shore environments. Associated with one Bronze Age palaeosol was a small encampment, comprising a scatter of burnt stone, charcoal, pottery and animal bone. |
