ANIMAL BONES SCANNED FROM CONTEXTS ON SITES SOU 26 AND SOU 169 (SAXON SOUTHAMPTON, SIX DIALS).

Author(s): M J Allen

The large multiperiod site at Easton Lane (SU 495304) adjacent to Winnal Down (Fasham 1985) is situated on theMiddle Chalk Downland block to the east of Winchester. The area was threatened by roadworks and was investigated during 1982-3 by P.Fasham and D.Whinney for the Trust For Wessex Archaeology and Winchester Archaeology Office respectively. The site consisted of a plethora of archaeological features; ditches pits and postholes. This report deals with molluscan samples which have enabled the local environmental history from the later Neolithic period tobe re-constructed. This data is then combined with othermolluscan studies and a palynological sequence in the area to enable the landscape evolution from the Mesolithic onwards for this Downland block to be presented.
