Report: Suffolk Rivers - waterlogged wood; .50m OD; this sample was taken from the base of an organic silt unit, which is underlain by well-humified peat. The underlying geology of the area surrounding Mickle Mere comprises predominantly chalk, chalk till, and glaciofluvial drift and till. The stratigraphy and sedimentology of the deposits suggest the area initially infilled naturally through biogenic in situ sedimentation. Thin minerogenic horizons are present within the peat deposits, which may have been accumulated during periods of temporary catchment instability and floodplain flooding. The peat is capped by a layer of silt which is likely to have accumulated through floodplain deposition. The natural water table was located c 0.4m from the surface. Rootlet penetration was not evident within the core upon extraction.

Report: wood; from a horizontal tree trunk lying at the base of peat deposits about 150cm thick, resting on clay and gravel. The tree trunk was exposed by erosion of the Barbrook. The total trunk length is unknown, but exceeds 250cm; diameter 30cm+. The sample is cut from the outer 20 heartwood rings of the trunk; the sapwood is no longer present. 115 heartwood rings had survived: 10-55 sapwood rings had been lost, and possibly some heartwood rings.

Carbon Date. 3935BC. Early Neolithic Carbon Dates

Report: Ribble Valley - waterlogged wood; the material is organic detritus from towards the top of a 1m thick sequence of coarse to medium sand flood laminations. The sequence of flood laminations was sampled from a core located in the centre of a palaeochannel with surface expression from upper Ribble terrace 3. The organic materials were incorporated within the uppermost sandy flood-lamination, below the switch to sandy silt and clay laminations. The materials are detrital rather than in situ, but they comprise soft plant matter, probably locally derived and likely to be similar in age to the flood deposit. The sample is from 2.79-2.75m from the surface with flood-laminated coarse to medium sands reflecting channel inundation, and buried and sealed beneath a flood-laminated sequence of sandy silt and clay reflective of more passive flood inundation. The deposit is towards the top of a sequence of sand flood layers and is buried by a further 0.5m of flood-laminated sand and silt. There is no evidence for bioturbation or downwards root penetration, because the flood laminations are undisturbed. At the time of sampling the water table was at the surface, and based on iron and manganese discolouration probably oscillates down to around 0.5m below the surface.

Report: charcoal; from a localised concentration of charcoal fragments at the summit of the A2 horizon of a humus iron podsol, and only 15cm below the base of recent humus. The sample postdates (or appears to postdate) the Mesolithic flint assemblage and comes below a break in the pollen diagram prepared by Professor G W Dimbleby. The sample is directly relevant to dating this break. Fuel contamination from army vehicles is a possibility.

Report: Bone tool, bevel-ended, UPM/IV.8, from upper midden T59 at Morton, Fife, Scotland. Subm C Bonsall and C Tolan-Smith. Comment (subm): these artefacts are highly characteristic of coastal Mesolithic shell midden sites in Scotland, and especially the so-called 'Obanian' sites on the west coast. The new dates extend the known time-range back to c 8350 BP and there are now 10 direct dates for this artefact. The three for Morton B are the first 'direct' dates on human artefacts from this site; and are significantly younger than previous determinations on bulk samples of charcoal which range from c 6380 to c 6115 BP.

Report: peat; from outcrops on the foreshore c 500m from the present sea wall at 0.15m OD. This peat overlies 2.5m of blue clay and the sample to be dated is from the base of the peat at its junction with the clay. The pollen identified in the peat is predominantly Granulae, Cheropodiaceae, and Cyperaceae, which suggests that it formed under salt marsh conditions.

Report: Charcoal, id by T G Holden and A Durry as Quercus sp, from within small area of burning at F5 of Cleaven Dyke, Perth & Kinross, Scotland. Comment (subm): poor state of preservation of charcoal implies that wood was rotten before being charred. Cal ranges given. Reasonable to suggest that the event thus dated occurred between 200 and 800 years before bank of Cleaven Dyke was built at this point. Suggest late 5th to mid/late 4th millennium cal BC.

Report: Swale-Ure Washlands: Langland's Farm- Wood; ; the sample was collected using a Russian corer. The sample is from the first macrofossils encountered at the base of the organic-rich silts close to the top of the peat. The peat deposits show a transition from freshwater-dominated sedges and grasses to Woodland dominated environments. No reworking of older pollen is recorded within the peat section. The field from which the sample was taken is flooded in winter and/or during periods of high rainfall.
