Survey Conditions(include time spent on site) | Good general |
Collection Comments | Site should be studied in detail may be our best eg., of a local Middle Bronze Age site, bichrome painted, heavy overhanging under-cut rims, some in grey ware similar to site 164 and possibly 215, some Hellenistic (???!! lds 6-00) loop bases, much drawing needs doing, two loop handles, Nevertheless appears more or less a single period site whatever the period |
Collection Summary | Sherd count |
Middle Bronze Age note | Trefoil pitcher, painted ware (Yes, definite LDS 9-98) Need to draw and photo (Some photo'd in 98). Many varied jar shapes, some platters and handled vessels. Cups, bases, and 2 important painted examples. |
Late Bronze Age note | possible (Yes, definite LDS 9-98) (note - need to recheck drawings to see what this note refers to lds 6-00) Have looked and think this site no longer should be counted among LBA sites. (2-2002) Thus have removed it from LBA list. |
Iron Age note | possible (none seriously noted or drawn so this should be discounted LDS 6-00) |
