Scarcewater, Pennance, Cornwall: Archaeological excavation of a Bronze Age and Roman landscape - Archaeological excavation of a Bronze Age and Roman landscape (Paperback, New)

Following an archaeological assessment, geophysical survey, and evaluation trenching, a large-scale excavation covering some 30 hectares was undertaken by the Historic Environment Service projects team of Cornwall County Council at the site of Imerys Minerals Ltd's Scarcewater tip, St Stephen-in-Brannel in 2004. The archaeological excavations were focused upon the investigation of three sunken-floored roundhouses of Middle Bronze Age date, together with a range of Bronze Age pits and timber structures, a Late Bronze Age roundhouse and palisade enclosure and pits, a Middle Iron Age 'cairn', and Romano-British settlement and funerary activity. The analyses of the information from the excavated sites has provided the opportunity to investigate shifting settlement foci and changes to Bronze Age roundhouse architecture over a period between 1500 and 1000 cal BC, and to examine the relationships between settlement-related and ceremonial activity in the middle of the second millennium cal BC.
