Comments | EH Hazleton North: pre-cairn series Hazleton North- Carbonised residue; adhering to internal surface of potsherd; the sherds were found in <12243>, the heavy fraction of sample <23>, which was taken from the 'midden' (561) (stratigraphically equivalent to the pre-cairn buried soil (211)), beneath cell O of the cairn structure. The overlying rubble dumps were (442) and (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. | |
