MINERAL PRESERVED ORGANIC MATERIAL ASSOCIATED WITH METALWORK FROM EXCAVATIONS ON THE WESTHAMPNETT BYPASS, WEST SUSSEX

Author(s): Jacqui Watson

Identification report of organic material associated with metalwork mainly from the IA and RB cremation cemeteries, but it also includes some objects from the IA settlement and an A/S grave. The report is presented in two parts, a discussion followed by a catalogue of all the material examined from this site. Most of the metalwork seems to be fittings from various types of containers including an IA decorated bentwood box, bucket, lathe-turned vessels and two RB cremation caskets. It was possible to indicate the construction of one of the caskets, and reconstruction drawings are included. The report also includes comments by D de Moulins on the plant material preserved on the ironwork, particularly the IA brooches.
