‘Worked jet piece [from Barleycroft site H]’ In: C. Evans and J. Pollard, with M. Haughton 'The Barleycroft Paddocks and North Field Sites (A Book of Sites: River Great Ouse floodplain and mid-stream islands investigations)

This ‘Book of Sites’ spans 16 years of fieldwork and 21 sites upon Barleycroft Farm’s eastern terrace and Over’s southern River Great Ouse mid-stream islands. In it issues of sampling methodology, and analytical approaches to landscape and the distribution of the area’s many settlements, are foregrounded. Three Early Bronze Age ring-ditches and two barrows were excavated. The primary cremation of one of the latter included ‘selected’ plants and plant-fibre textiles, with the other – attesting to acts of ‘monument erasure’ – starting as a later Neolithic oval barrow, reworked as an Early Bronze Age pond barrow and subsequently infilled with Middle-period midden deposits.
