At the Butser Ancient Farm Research Project in Hampshire a slash and burn experiment has been carried out on a limited area of cleared old woodland. The purpose was to examine the comparative yield performance of emmer wheat on burned and unburned plots within an artificial clearing and thereafter the natural plant regeneration. The growing experiment ran for four seasons by which time the yield return equalled the seed sown. This stage corresponded with the drought of 1976 and does not necessarily reflect the real final stage. It was, however, the logical point at which to commence the study of the natural regeneration of the flora on the plots. This paper presents the results of the growing period and documents the first season's regeneration
