CHARRED PLANT REMAINS FROM AN IRON AGE DEFENDED ENCLOSURE AT PARK FARM, BARFORD, WARKS.
Author(s): L C Moffett
This Iron Age enclosure is located on the fourth terrace of the Warwickshire Avon. Most archaeobotanical evidence for the Iron Age in the west midlands comes from second terrace sites and hillforts so the charred plant remains from Park Farm were of interest for comparative purposes. Charred material was not in fact very abundant and consisted mainly of small dense chaff fragments of emmer and spelt, and weed seeds, possibly the by-product of cereal processing. Other food plants present were barley, hazel and sloe.
