PREHISTORIC USE OF PLANT RESOURCES AT RADLEY BARROW HILLS, OXON.
Author(s): L C Moffett
Prehistoric features sampled from this ritual site included pits containing Grooved Ware, Neolithic and Beaker inhumations and Bronze Age cremations. The Grooved Ware pits contained apple (Malus sylvestris), hazel (Corylus avellana) and wheat (Triticum sp.) with hazel and apple representing the largest part of the assemblages. The inhumations contained small amounts ofapple and Gramineae fragments. One of the Bronze Age cremations produced an assemblage consisting primarily of Gramineae fragments and small Leguminous seeds (Medicago/Melilotus/Trifolium/Lotus), but also containing cereal grains and two tubers of pignut or great pignut (Conopodium majus/Bunium bulbocastanum).
