The Archaeology of the Bexhill and Hasting Link Road by Andy B on Sunday, 10 July 2016
(User Info | Send a Message)
...a great surprise was been the very large number of Mesolithic flint scatters, over 300 individual events, in several concentrations through the length of the scheme, amounting to many hundreds of thousands of individual flakes of flint. All flakes over 10mm are 3D plotted by GPS coordinates, and bagged for later study and analysis. The uniquely large number allows subtle evidence of early human activity, revealing good and bad craftsmanship and possible child work for the very small flakes, and development of different tool kits to match changing environmental circumstances, with larger tools in the earlier periods for larger animals, aurochs, horse, moose, and smaller hunting points, arrow heads and micro-liths being found for later periods as woodlands develop and prey animals become smaller.

They also subtly reveal different activities, hunting tools being produced at lower slopes which would have been at the edge of the marsh and woodland, and different, processing tools, ie burins, borers, scrapers and adzes being produced on higher ground, which would have been settlement sites. The quality of these flints is extraordinary, and it is possible to identify different flint types and their sources.

There is (was - MegP Ed!) a late Neolithic ring ditch with a gap, (penanular). This could be a henge or a barrow. In fact there is the same range of monuments through the landscape as is found on the Downs, which has been a welcome surprise.

At the wetland edge of the Bronze Age landscape several burnt mounds have been found, with associated charcoal, pottery, barbed and tanged arrowheads, and part of a wristband. These are usually found in high status sites such as the Amesbury Archer buried at Stonehenge. The mounds invariably have a round and a square pit, sluice channels and post holes, suggesting a covering. Their use is unknown, but there has been speculation and theory from a site for brewing beer to a sweat lodge for Shamanic use.
