Silbury Hill, Wiltshire: Geoarchaeological Analysis from Silbury Hill Excavations 2007/2008
Author(s): Matt Canti
The archaeological recording carried out at Silbury Hill during the repair works in 2007/8 is reported in Leary (2009). The results left four main geoarchaeological research questions - the formation process of the old land surface, the origin of the gravel mound, the possible turf line or topsoil band on the north wall of the East Lateral and the nature of the dark layer on top of the gravel mound. These are examined individually in this report, utilising micromorphology and particle size analysis as the main analytical techniques.
