Report: Southworth Hall Farm- Plant macrofossil; sample from context 2159, fill of pit/posthole 2160, consisting of silty sand mottled with dark grey silt, occasionally 'peaty'. The pit was cut into context 2155, a light brown sandy layer, which may have been a buried soil or the fill of a larger archaeological feature extending beyond the excavated area. Small fragments of pottery, possibly pre-Roman, were found on the surface of this layer, and unstratified early prehistoric and early Bronze Age flints were found in the same general area. The fills of the pit may include material derived from this earlier layer.

Report: Charcoal, id by T G Holden and A Durry as Quercus sp, from within small area of burning at F5 of Cleaven Dyke, Perth & Kinross, Scotland. Comment (subm): poor state of preservation of charcoal implies that wood was rotten before being charred. Cal ranges given. Reasonable to suggest that the event thus dated occurred between 200 and 800 years before bank of Cleaven Dyke was built at this point. Suggest late 5th to mid/late 4th millennium cal BC.

Report: Bone tool, bevel-ended, UPM/IV.7, from lower midden T59 at Morton, Fife, 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. The three for Morton B are the first 'direct' dates on human artefacts from this site; and are significantly younger than previous determinations on bulk samples of charcoal which range from c 6380 to c 6115 BP.

Report: Peat, IWCAC 2027.9048, from foreshore sediments on Quarr Beach, Wootton Creek, Isle of Wight, England. Subm R G Tomalin. Comment (R Loader): a series of 7 samples (OxA-7161 to -7165 and -7182 to -7183) were taken during archaeological survey of coast and hinterland centred on Wootton Creek. This date was taken from top few cm of a peat layer sealed by marine silt at current extreme low water. Overlying the silt was a hurdle trackway (Q190) which had previously been dated to 4800 60 BP (GU-5662). [further comment in ref.]

Report: Nene Valley - sediment; humic acid fraction, bulk sample; .92m OD; the monolith was removed from vertical exposures of poorly consolidated deposits from the river Nene floodplain. The location of the sampled section was close to a multi-period archaeological site with evidence from the Mesolithic to the Saxon periods. The monolith S1013 (M3) was taken from a palaeochannel deposit that is thought to include the Neolithic period. The monolith was taken 3m from the surface, from the channel infill section. This channel infill consisted of black organic silts.

Carbon Date. 3180BC. Middle Neolithic Carbon Dates

Report: Bone tool, bevel-ended, UPM/IV.6, from midden T65 at Morton, Fife, 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. The three for Morton B are the first 'direct' dates on human artefacts from this site; and are significantly younger than previous determinations on bulk samples of charcoal which range from c 6380 to c 6115 BP.

Report: Branch wood, ref ERB89 A32 040, id as Alnus sp by R Gale, from waterlogged alluvial silt beneath 0.8m-deep floodplain accumulation under Neolithic ground surface at Runnymede Bridge, Berkshire, England. Subm SPN. Comment (subm): This date and BM-2659, -2661, -2662 were measured to help fill out alluvial chronology of site and to supplement Harwell series and previous BM dates (BM-2435, -2436, -2550, -2551). This date gives tpq for silt layer dated elsewhere on site to c 3800-3500 cal BC; two-sigma cal range of 4037-3788 cal BC for this date indicates short period of aggradation for intervening silt.

Report: Hazleton North- Carbonised residue; adhering to internal surface of potsherd; the sherds were found in the pre-cairn buried soil (211), beneath cell O of the cairn structure. The overlying rubble dump was (379). There is some possibility that these sherds are residual or intrusive, but they should not derive from the Mesolithic use of the site. Nor is it likely that the sherds could have penetrated the buried soil after the cairn was built over it. The sherds should therefore date to the pre-cairn Neolithic 'domestic' activity at Hazleton, or possibly to the post-midden, pre-cairn interval in which the site was cultivated.

Report: Southworth Hall Farm- Plant macrofossil ; sample from context 2027, a lower fill of pit 2028, consisting of silty mid-to-dark-grey mottled brown loamy sand with frequent flecks of charred material. This fill was cut by a later pit, 2026, whose fill, 2025, was sandier and a strong yellow-brown in colour, and contained later prehistoric pottery. The contrast between the fills of the two pits suggests that they were not mixed, and that samples from context 2027 are not intrusive. The pottery from 2025 could date from the Bronze Age to the late Iron Age. Surface finds in this area included probable early Bronze Age flint and the occasional early prehistoric flint, suggesting activity nearby in both periods.

Report: Bone, id as human femur shaft, from cave earth deposits inside Bob's Cave, Yealmpton, Devon, England. Subm A T Chamberlain. Comment (subm): bone was recovered from deposits that have also yielded Late Upper Palaeo fauna and artefacts, and Late Glacial date was expected. The Early Neolithic date is in fact consistent with the findings from dating human remains from other cave sites, and augments existing evidence for widespread use of caves as mortuary sites during Holocene.

Report: Till-Tweed: River Breamish at Powburn- Wood; sample Bcd-3 is taken from Hedgely Quarry at location QH3-4, cut out from a tree trunk in the active gravel face. The tree trunk is located c 2m below the T1 terrace surface. The quarry shows a sequence of c 1m of silt and sand, followed by c 4m of clast-supported gravel with sand lenses/layers of c 1m thick that show cross-bedding, peaty-clayey channel fills (<0.5m thick) and tree trunks (the latter deeper than c 2m below surface). These T1 terrace deposits overlay dark brown-grey massive clayey silt layer with extensive organic remains of more than 1m thick (equivalent of the layer of samples Bcd-1a/b). This layer lies conformably on top of a pinkish-blue finely laminated silt and clay with mm-scale fine sandy lamination. The thick sedimentary sequence on top of the sample excludes the possibility of post-depositional disturbance. There is no intrusion of younger organic material. The sampling site was waterlogged year-round until c 2 years ago when quarrying started.
