| Popis: | The Derbyshire Archaeological Journal, 132, 80-128 A partially reported excavation carried out in the 1960s of an upstanding round barrow within the cursus at Aston on Trent, Derbyshire recovered two Beakers with grave goods and an exceptional large cache of grain from an underlying pit containing Carinated Bowl pottery. It also exposed a rare example of a preserved cursus land surface. The surviving material from the excavation is analysed here and the report completed. Radiocarbon dating points to more than one phase of grain charring activity, the later of which may be broadly contemporary with the cursus. The two leached Beaker burials were either unusually surface-laid or cut into an earlier barrow. |
