| Popis: | Archaeology in the Severn Estuary, 12, 99-117 Excavation of three rectangular buildings of middle Bronze Age date at Redwick is outlined. Each of the buildings had been subject to significant erosion, especially Building 1, floor levels did not survive but the plans of Buildings 2 and 4 were better preserved. The buildings are on slightly raised areas of peat and are partly encircled by slight depressions in which occupation levels were preserved. The floors of the depressions are covered with many bovid and some ovi-caprid footprint-tracks. Human footprint-tracks also occur. The distribution of artifacts and that of footprint-tracks contributes to an understanding of the layout ( eg entrance positions) and possible function of the buildings, some parts of which are thought to have housed animals. Building 2, perhaps Building 4, but not Building 1 produced evidence of human domestic activity but of very small-scale and probably short duration. |
