Four reports from excavations in the Thames and Kennet Valleys (three being developer funded rescue work) are presented, with most of the data on microfiche.
Also in this volume:
Statistical analysis of flint scatters at Maidenhead Thicket suggested the presence of two extraction areas and one residential site from the Late Neolithic.
At Dunston Park an Iron Age round-house was associated with a cluster of finds, while at Cooper's Farm nearby ironsmithing evidence from 7th century BC provides early evidence for this activity. Finally at Park Farm, Binfield a small rural settlement of 1st century BC to 2nd century AD with a large number of loomweights, and Mesolithic flint scatters were surveyed and processed.
