Report: Ribble Valley - waterlogged wood; unidentified twigs; the material is organic detritus from peaty sand-rich alluvium overlying a 0.75m thick peat deposit. The sequence was sampled from a core (CAL/C5) on Calder Terrace 1. The surface geomorphology suggests the setting is a palaeochannel. The sedimentary sequence comprises a thick sequence of glacio-lacustrine rhythmites, which are buried by 0.75m of woody peat. Overlying the peat are 0.45m of sandy organic-rich flood laminations, which in turn are buried by finer grained overbank-style flood-laminated alluvium. The sample is taken from the basal peat deposits at 2.50-2.45m. The peat deposit overlies a thick sequence of glacio-lacustrine rhythmites and is buried by a further 1.75m of flood-laminated sands, silts, and clays. Downwards root penetration is possibly within woody peat deposits of this nature, as is the migration of different organic fractions, particularly fulvic acids. At the time of sampling the water table was at 0.5m beneath the surface, and based on iron and manganese discolouration probable oscillates around 0.5-0.75m below the surface. Materials are locally derived and equivalent in age to the deposit.

Report: Suffolk Rivers - waterlogged wood; .69m OD; this sample was taken from the base of a well-humified peat unit, which is underlain by silty sands. The underlying geology of the area surrounding Mickle Mere comprises predominantly chalk, chalk till, and glaciofluvial drift and till. The stratigraphy and sedimentology of the deposits suggest the area initially infilled naturally through biogenic in situ sedimentation. Thin minerogenic horizons are present within the peat deposits, which may have accumulated during periods of temporary catchment instability and floodplain flooding. The peat is capped by a layer of silt which is likely to have accumulated through floodplain deposition. The natural water table was located c 0.4m from the surface. Rootlet penetration was not evident within the core upon extraction.

Report: Bone, id as Rangifer tarandus, reindeer, from stratigraphically secure position within bone breccia in Shelter Cave, Kitley Caves, Western Torrs Quarry, Yealmpton, Devon, England. Subm A T Chamberlain. Comment (subm): OxA-7142 and -7143 indicate that the sequence of deposits in the cave brackets a transition from Late Glacial to post-Glacial type faunas. This date is identical to a result obtained on reindeer from Aveline's Hole (OxA-802) and thus this date confirms survival of reindeer into earliest part of Holocene in SW England. Comment (lab): herbivores generally appear to have more enriched values of delta 13C in this period, with Rangifer tending to be most enriched.

Carbon Date. 7450BC. Mesolithic Carbon Dates

Report: Ribble Valley - waterlogged wood; the material is organic detritus from peaty sand-rich alluvium overlying a 0.75m thick peat deposit. The sequence was sampled from a core (CAL/C5) on Calder Terrace 1. The surface geomorphology suggests the setting is a palaeochannel. The sedimentary sequence comprises a thick sequence of glacio-lacustrine rhythmites, which are buried by 0.75m of woody peat. Overlying the peat are 0.45m of sandy organic-rich flood-laminations, which in turn are buried by finer grained overbank style flood laminated alluvium. The sample is taken from the uppermost peat deposits at 1.75-1.70m, which was sealed beneath 0.45m of flood laminated sands. The peat deposit overlies a thick sequence of glacio-lacustrine rhythmites and is buried by a further 1.75m of flood-laminated sands, silts and clays. Downwards root penetration is possible within woody peat deposits of this nature, as is the migration of different organic fractions, particularly fulvic acids. At the time of sampling the water table was at 0.50m beneath the surface, and based on iron and manganese discolouration probably oscillates around 0.50-0.75m below the surface. The sample is in situ, locally derived and equivalent in age to the deposit.

Report: Ribble Valley - waterlogged plant macrofossil; bud scales; the materials are organic detritus from peaty sand-rich alluvium overlying a 0.75m thick peat deposit. The sequence was sampled from a core (CAL/C5) on Calder Terrace 1. The surface geomorphology suggests the setting is a palaeochannel. The sedimentary sequence comprises a thick sequence of glacio-lacustrine rhythmites, which are buried by 0.75m of woody peat. Overlying the peat are 0.35m of sandy organic-rich flood laminations, which in turn are buried by finer grained overbank style flood laminated alluvium. The sample is taken from the basal sand flood layer at 1.61-1.56m above the peat deposit. The materials are in situ, and so are locally derived and are likely to be similar in age to the flood deposit. The overlying flood laminations are intact, which denotes little or no downwards penetration of organic materials. At the time of sampling the water table was at 0.5m beneath the surface, and based on iron and manganese discolouration probably oscillates around 0.5-0.75m below the surface.

Report: Bone, id as Lynx lynx, northern lynx, metatarsal, from unconsolidated sediments immediately overlying a bone breccia in Shelter Cave, Kitley Caves, Western Torrs Quarry, Yealmpton, Devon, England. Subm A T Chamberlain. Comment (subm): OxA-7142 and -7143 indicate that the sequence of deposits in the cave brackets a transition from Late Glacial to post-Glacial type faunas. Radiocarbon dating of Lynx at other sites has shown that this elusive species was only present in the British Isles during the Holocene and in the thermal maximum of the late Glacial Interstadial. Comment (lab): the lynx shows the somewhat more enriched value of delta 13C at higher trophic levels in this period.

Report: Charred seeds, id as sloe, MDG 527, from Madawg Rockshelter, Wye Valley, Herefordshire, England. Subm R N E Barton. Comment (subm): OxA-6081 and -6082 came from charred deposits within sealed shallow depression c 30cm deep near the middle of the rockshelter. Mixing is thought unlikely because the specimens were separated by a depth of 7cm and dated in the correct stratigraphic order; implication is that infilling of the depression was not a discrete event. OxA-6081 is earliest directly dated evidence of sloe/blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) in the British Holocene flora. A diagnostically Late Mesolithic burnt narrow scalene triangle was recovered within the same 2cm spit as the earlier of the two dated samples.

Report: Bone tool, bevel-ended, UPM/IV.4, from midden at Druimvargie Rockshelter, Oban, Argyll, Scotland. Subm C Bonsall and C Tolan-Smith. Comment (subm): these artefacts are highly characteristic of coastal Mesolithic shell midden sites in Scotland, and especially the so-called 'Obanian' sites on the west coast. The new dates extend the known time-range back to c 8350 BP and there are now 10 direct dates for this artefact.

Carbon Date. 6275BC. Mesolithic Carbon Dates

Report: North Park Farm, Bletchingley - charcoal; unidentified twig; the charcoal sample comes from hearth feature [161] in Area 6, excavated spit F5-58-3. Hearth [161] lies at a depth of c 0.9m from the modern surface, prior to machining, between contexts [18] and [106]. The hearth feature is characterised by a very dark charcoal-rich deposit with a thinner grey spread [157] surrounding it. There is a small chance of environmental contamination from earlier [106] and later deposits [18], owing to the fact that the hearth appears to be an exposed surface feature and not an immediately sealed context. Prior to machine stripping, the surface deposit consisted of a compacted dark greyish brown plough layer (c 0.3m). This overlay c 0.5m of reddish brown compacted gritty fine sand with scattered pieces of chalk and flint and a variety of post-Mesolithic archaeological matter. This horizon is underlain by a similar but slightly darker and greyer horizon, up to 0.2m in thickness [18]. Below this level the sand is much less compacted and often free-running and predominantly light grey or white, with very variable and localised patterns of dark greyish or reddish brown staining [106]. The thickness of this horizon is variable and it passes down into un-weathered lower Greensand.

Report: Ribble Valley - sediment; humic acid fraction, bulk sample; the material is organic-rich soil (finer than 200?m fraction) from towards the top of a sequence of coarse to medium sand flood laminations. The sequence of flood laminations was sampled from a core located in the centre of a palaeochannel with surface expression from lower Ribble terrace 4. The soil overlies a sandy flood lamination below the switch to silt and clay laminations. The material is an embryonic soil and so is in situ, and is likely to be similar in age to the flood deposit.

Carbon Date. 5685BC. Mesolithic Carbon Dates

Report: Ribble Valley - sediment; humin fraction, bulk sample; the materials are a thin palaeosoil from sand-rich alluvium overlying a 0.75m thick peat deposit. The sequence was sampled from a core (CAL/C5) on Calder Terrace 1. The surface geomorphology suggests the setting is a palaeochannel. The sedimentary sequence comprises a thick sequence of glacio-lacustrine rhythmites, which are buried by 0.75m of woody peat. Overlying the peat are 0.45m of sandy organic-rich flood laminations, which in turn are buried by finer overbank-style flood-laminated alluvium. The sample is taken from a soil overlying the uppermost sand flood layer at 1.12-1.17m. The materials are in situ, and so are locally derived and are likely to be similar in age to the flood deposit. The overlying fine-grained flood laminations are intact, which denotes little or no downwards penetration of organic materials. The datable material comes from the uppermost flood layer of a sequence of floods, which is buried by 0.75m of flood laminated silts and clays. At the time of sampling the water table was 0.50m beneath the surface, and based on iron and manganese discolouration probably oscillates around 0.50-0.75m below the surface.

Report: Till-Tweed: River Breamish at Powburn- Peat; decomposed; sample Bcd-5 is taken from the base of a shallow peat palaeochannel fill of the T1 terrace level at location B19 in the valley floor. The depth of the fine-grained channel fill is c 0.5m. The sediment core shows a succession of 0.41m of oxidised dark brown peaty silt on top of 0.10m of peaty clay silt and sand and is grounded on gravel at a depth of 0.5m. The channel has a clear morphological expression at the T1 surface. The thin organic palaeochannel fill shows signs of oxidation and the basal part shows lamination and sand lenses, which argues against the possibility of post-depositional disturbance of the basal peaty silt. There might be rootlet penetration. The sample consists of silty peat (pH 4.3, LOI 94%), which formed in a shallow palaeochannel on top of the gravel deposits of T1. The sample has been taken at a depth of 0.40-0.50m below surface and is overlain by a thin sand layer and silty peat. The upstream catchment area of the Breamish River consists mainly of metamorphic and igneous rocks of the Cheviot massive, and additionally of some sandstone. There is no natural contamination anticipated. The sampling site is waterlogged in winter.

Report: Charred hazelnuts, MDG 528, from Madawg Rockshelter, Wye Valley, Herefordshire, England. Subm R N E Barton. Comment (subm): OxA-6081 and -6082 came from charred deposits within sealed shallow depression c 30cm deep near the middle of the rockshelter. Mixing is thought unlikely because the specimens were separated by a depth of 7cm and dated in the correct stratigraphic order; implication is that infilling of the depression was not a discrete event. OxA-6081 is earliest directly dated evidence of sloe/blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) in the British Holocene flora. A diagnostically Late Mesolithic burnt narrow scalene triangle was recovered within the same 2cm spit as the earlier of the two dated samples.

Carbon Date. 4265BC. Mesolithic Carbon Dates

Report: Suffolk Rivers - waterlogged wood; .64m OD; this sample was taken from the base of a herbaceous well-humified peat unit, which is underlain by an organic silt unit. The underlying geology of the area surrounding Mickle Mere comprises predominantly chalk, chalk till, and glaciofluvial drift and till. The stratigraphy and sedimentology of the deposits suggest the area initially infilled naturally through biogenic in situ sedimentation. Thin minerogenic horizons are present within the peat deposits, which may have been accumulated during periods of temporary catchment instability and floodplain flooding. The peat is capped by a layer of silt which is likely to have accumulated through floodplain deposition. The natural water table was located c 0.4m from the surface. Rootlet penetration was not evident within the core upon extraction.
