| Popis: | Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 86, 1-36 Between 2009 and 2011, archaeological excavations were carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on a site at Loughborough Road, Asfordby, Leicestershire (SK 701 192), which revealed traces of activity dating to the Mesolithic, Late Neolithic-Early Bronze Age and Iron Age periods. The work was carried out on behalf of Jelson Ltd, in advance of and during residential development of the site. This report highlights evidence of Late Neolithic-Early Bronze Age occupation which yielded a significant assemblage of worked flint, and the largest assemblage of Beaker pottery found so far in Leicestershire, and of earlier occupation in the form of a Late Mesolithic lithic assemblage preserved in a tree throw hole. The site archive will be held with Leicestershire County Council, under the accession number X.A124. 2008 |
