Report: Bone, id as human, Homo sapiens sapiens, immature scapula, CNU/4, one of four individuals represented from Creag nan Uamh caves, Assynt, Highland, Scotland. Subm C Bonsall and A Kitchener 1995. Comment (subm): this series OxA-5757 to -5761 comes from deposits that also produced an abundant Pleistocene fauna of mainly Mid- to Late Devensian age. Dates were intended to test the possibility of pre-Holocene human occupation of the caves; results indicate a Neolithic age for the human remains and a medieval context for the antler artefact.

Report: Bone, id as human adult ?female, PC4, from SW chamber of chambered cairn at Parc le Breos Cwm, Gower, West Glamorgan, Wales. Subm A Whittle. Comment (subm): the 12 individuals selected for dating represent 30% of the mortuary population. The dates confirm the expected earlier Neolithic period, but leave unresolved questions of cairn style development within the Cotswold-Severn tradition. This determination and possibly OxA-6494, -6490 could indicate a rather longer span of continuous use for this tomb than that suggested for Hazleton North. [Further comment in refs.]

Report: charcoal; from an oval pit with a high concentration of stones; and a Beaker. This pit had a stone-lined bottom - a layer of quartz pebbles. On the cemetery site we have had 30 cremation pits, six of which have been dated to the Bronze Age. The discovery of this 'Beaker pit' is unexpected and of importance in terms of the relationship between the Bronze Age and the Beaker period and the length of use of this site as a cemetery.

Report: Wood, id as twigs, Annas, HH94/1, from Annas Basin, High Hyton, Cum-bria, England. Subm T Clare 1994. Comment (subm): OxA-5086 and -5087 were derived from buried peat and laminated sediments below and associated with a former water course. The stratigraphy is interpreted as representing a change in the hydrology of the valley floor. The possibility that the samples could be from redeposited material appears to be negated by the similarity of the dates. The dates for the changes to the valley's stratigraphy are similar to those for sea level rise elsewhere (see OxA-5963 and -5966) and the two may be not unconnected.

Report: Willington Quarry - charcoal; context 1448 was a lens of charcoal-rich black clay in the pit fill of 1056. It was an homogenous context and as such represents an event of deposition. As it does not have a post-ghost profile, it is more likely that the deposit was placed into an abandoned structural pit when the structure was dismantled.

Report: Antler collagen, id as red deer (A Legge), from pick in partially stabilised surface on top of primary ditch silts, sealed by secondary silts containing Mortlake and Fengate wares, at Dorset Cursus (Down Farm Woodcutts), Cranborne Chase, Dorset, England. Comment (subm): Consistent with OxA-624/625/626. The large antler pick is unlikely to have moved around in soil profile; this date is therefore more secure in context than the muh smaller samples submitted to Oxford.

Report: The Rye area project: Pewis Marsh (Pewis 2)- Plant macrofossil; terrestrial plant remains, bark from twig, 0.07g, -0.99 - -1.04m OD; PEWIS 2.2 is taken from the centre of a unit of black Woody (C). The solid geology of the area around Pewis Marsh is the Hastings Bed Group (mainly sandstones, siltstones, and clays). The watertable at the site is within 1m of the modern ground surface. The depth from which the sample is taken precludes the possibility of contamination by modern rootlet penetration or disturbance. Pollen assemblages around PEWIS 2.2 indicate succession from Alnus fen carr to Betula poor fen.

Report: Peat, IWCAC 2172 2007, from cores taken through up to 10m of sediment at Ranelagh Spit at the mouth of Wootton Creek, Isle of Wight, England. Subm R G Tomalin. Comment (R Loader): a series of 7 samples (OxA-7161 to -7165 and -7182 to -7183) were taken during archaeological survey of coast and hinterland centred on Wootton Creek. The site dated by OxA-7161 to -7164 provides one of the key sequences for coastal evolution and sea level rise in the eastern Solent, and the four dates have been used in the creation of a sea level curve for the Solent area.

Report: Cossington - cremated human bone; cranial bone, possibly occipital bone; F4 was an unurned cremation in a small pit. It was the only cremation to have a direct stratigraphic relationship with the ring ditch, cutting the phase 1 ditch. F4 was cut into the backfilled/silted ring ditch, approximately 300m north of the river Wreake. The land on which the site was situated had apparently been cultivated for a considerable length of time prior to the excavation. No other details are known.

Report: charcoal; from a pit at the centre of an interrupted ditch enclosure in close proximity to both Bronze Age and Iron Age funerary monuments. The sample was submitted to establish to which period the pit relates; although no bone was found in the pit, it seems likely that this was a ritual, and possibly a funerary, monument (cf Ravenstone, Buckinghamshire above).

Report: Willington Quarry - waterlogged plant macrofossil; Ranunculus sect., Ranunculus (three), Corylus avellana, Persicaria lapathifolia (two), Rumex sp., Prunella vulgaris (two), Sambucus nigra, Carex (three); a pollen column through a palaeochannel peaty infill on the southern edge of the excavations. The column sampled two layers between which was a broad shift in deposit - the upper a mid grey silty peaty clay, and the lower a friable silty peat. Despite general homogeneity, a clast of material exposed to the side of the column may well indicate a channel rejuvenation. The plan form of the channel is not fully clear as channels had clearly intercut over a wide area.

Report: Peat, IWCAC 2172 2008, from cores taken through up to 10m of sediment at Ranelagh Spit at the mouth of Wootton Creek, Isle of Wight, England. Subm R G Tomalin. Comment (R Loader): a series of 7 samples (OxA-7161 to -7165 and -7182 to -7183) were taken during archaeological survey of coast and hinterland centred on Wootton Creek. The site dated by OxA-7161 to -7164 provides one of the key sequences for coastal evolution and sea level rise in the eastern Solent, and the four dates have been used in the creation of a sea level curve for the Solent area.

Report: Swale-Ure Washlands: F45, Nosterfield- Wood; a Russian core and monolith tins were used to sample organic from a collapsed feature labelled 'F45' at the Nosterfield sand and gravel quarry. The pit from which the samples were taken has since been stripped by the gravel company. The pits or collapsed features are interpreted as 'probably natural features within the already forming fluvioglacial gravels bordering the River Ure' (Tipping 2000). The section occurs in a gravel quarry, where it was exposed temporarily during quarry excavation. The collapse features probably formed in the gravels as a result of cavern collapse in the underlying limestone. The collapse features would then quickly fill up with Sediment.

Report: charcoal; site F, causewayed enclosure ditch layer 6; this layer consists of dark brown soil, chalk lumps and large flint nodules which fills a variable but roughly 'V'-shaped slot recut into the ditch fill at a point when the secondary silts had accumulated almost to the brim. This deposit is a regular feature of the causewayed enclosure ditch and is consistently associated with dumps of organic remains and cultural material (flint work, pot, axe fragments). On archaeological grounds the accumulation of the secondary silts might be expected to have taken a considerable period of time, c 200-300 years.

Report: charcoal; from a feature which appears to be a pit, and reused on several occasions. It is paired with another, both of which are ditch terminals, or late cuts into previous ditch terminals of the enclosure, with a very narrow causeway between. This causeway does not seem to represent a main entrance to the monument, however the nature of the deposits filling these pits suggest that they were used for burning material rather than as post-pits in which the posts had burnt in situ. They definitely appear to represent a period of use of the monument. The sample was sealed beneath later fills (24.1) in this pit, and the feature itself was sealed beneath c 80cm of topsoil/subsoil complex.

Report: Charcoal (retained from 1940s excavations), id by C R Cartwright as Corylus, Calluna, Quercus, Leguminosae and Salix/Populus spp, from Pit F6 in Barrow 22 at Davidstow Moor, Cornwall, England. Subm P M Christie. Comment (subm): 14C dating is sole way of dating barrows more precisely and establishing relationships between them. This date unsatisfactory as sample is believed to relate to pre-barrow (Grooved Ware) occupation of site.

Report: Cheviot Quarry - carbonised plant macrofossil; hazelnut, single fragment; the hazelnut fragment was found in the primary fill of pit F2133, which was situated beneath subsoil 002. The pit was cut into natural gravel deposit 003. The pit lay 2.2m east of building 3, a structure morphologically similar to buildings 1 and 2, which have produced radiocarbon dates in the fifth to sixth centuries AD. The hazelnut fragment was deposited 0.6m from the surface, cut into fluvio-glacial gravel terrace deposits. There was no rootlet penetration but some bioturbaton (worm).

Report: Swale-Ure Washlands: F45, Nosterfield- Wood; a Russian core and monolith tins were used to sample organic from a collapsed feature labelled 'F45' at the Nosterfield sand and gravel quarry. The pit from which the samples were taken has since been stripped by the gravel company. The pits or collapsed features are interpreted as 'probably natural features within the already forming fluvioglacial gravels bordering the River Ure' (Tipping 2000). The section occurs in a gravel quarry, where it was exposed temporarily during quarry excavation. The collapse features probably formed in the gravels as a result of cavern collapse in the underlying limestone. The collapse features would then quickly fill up with Sediment.

Comment (subm): Calibrated date ranges are supplied in text. Burial dates are considered anomalous because do not overlap at 95% confidence level, though should be contemporary with each other. They are also late relative to their gravegoods. Poor preservation and shallow burial may be the cause.

The sample was obtained from a depth of 2m below the stripped surface and is in the earliest part of the sequence. There was no evidence for disturbance or intrusion, but shallow, modern land drains had been constructed over part of the peat-filled surface. The local geology was gravels overlain with sandy acidic topsoil and subsoil. The waterlogged peat feature was contained within the gravel horizon. Approximately 0.5m of topsoil had been removed. There were land drains on the surface of this feature.

Report: animal bone; this sample is one of 27 items deposited as grave goods with primary inhumation 6410 in barrow 1. The grave goods were tightly grouped by the feet of the partly disarticulated skeleton. The burial was in a pit at the centre of the barrow and had been 'roofed' with some form of timber structure and overlain with a cairn comprised of limestone and over 200 cattle skulls. Collapse of the timber structure resulted in the cairn subsiding into the burial pit, causing movement but no contamination.

Report: Antler, SNDRFRC4, id as red deer, from Pit 1, Shrewton, Wiltshire [Map], England. Subm SRS 1982. Comment (subm): The grave goods could not be earlier than 4K BP. This result is earlier than any other from the barrow cemetery and contemporary with dates from the Stonehenge ditch, cursus and the destruction of the lesser cursus. The ditch fill contained small sherds of AOC Beaker, and antler fragments occurred throughout the central grave fill; I believe the AOC sherds and antler are residual and that earlier material was incorporated into the grave fill, to which the 14C date refers.
