商品簡介
The site at Colswold Community in the western reaches of the Upper Thames Valley has been a focus for human activity since Neolithic times. Successive Bronze Age. Iron Age and Roman settlements developed within an increasingly open grassland landscape, which was heavily exploited for the growing of crops and the grazing of animals. The spiritual lives of the inhabitants were glimpsed through a series of structured pit deposits and ritual monuments, Including a potential Neolithic timber circle and Bronze Age round barrows.
One of the most striking landscape features was a late Bronze Age/carly Iron Age pit alignment that extended over 500 m, possibly marking one of the earliest attempts at defining territory on a large scale. It was still a visible feature for some time as it partly dictated the position of the boundaries of a Roman farmstead. which occupied the site from the 1st to 4th centuries AD. The farm lay in the shadow of Roman Cirencester less than 5 km to the north and may even have been involved in the recycling of refuse from this important urban centre. Following abandonment of the Roman farmstead there was no further occupation on site, although a small number of Saxon agricultural structures indicate continuing use of the land, which may now have been part of a locally-centred Saxon estate.
This volume presents the results of a series of excavations undertaken at colswold Community from 1999 to 2008.
