Functional analysis of settlement areas
A small, well-preserved, trapezoidal, ditched enclosure of mid to later Iron Age date at The Bowsings (Guiting Power, Gloucestershire, UK), closely defined in plan by magnetometer and resistivity survey, supplemented by extensive excavation, can be further divided into areas of differing usage by mapping levels of magnetic susceptibility (MS) and inorganic phosphate in basal topsoil over the site. A clear impression of the enclosure, with interna…
Visualising burnt areas
The distribution of burning over excavated surfaces within and under the early bronze age round barrow at Guiting Power 1 (Glos., UK: SP 08443 24461) was determined in detail by Bartington coil. The surviving pattern of burning marking the bases of the central primary ring-pyre, and of secondary and satellite box-pyres were obtained, then compared with existing experimental results. The distribution of burnt material incorporated into the core of…
Neolithic long barrows
A programme of geophysical survey at high resolution over the mounds and margins of a sample group of neolithic long barrows of Cotswold–Severn type has provided a basis for preliminary analysis and remedial conservation, detecting in several cases further structures within the vulnerable foreground area of the monument. These extensions to the mounded barrow area are discussed in terms of general function of monuments and as suggesting revised r…
Environmental adaptation and structural design in axially‐pitched longhouses from Neolithic Europe
This paper analyses the structural and functional design of trapezoidal longhouses from the European Neolithic in the light of studies of ethnographic parallels from the highland area of New Guinea, which is comparable to temperate and sub‐alpine Europe in many aspects of its environment. It is argued that both longhouse types represent a parallel adaptation to adverse climatic conditions, and that their orientations are determined largely by win…
