A REVIEW OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL WOOD ANALYSES IN SOUTHERN ENGLAND
Author(s): Wendy Smith
This review presents a summary of analyses of charred, waterlogged, and in some cases mineralised or preserved wood from archaeological sites in southern England ranging in date from the Palaeolithic through Post-Medieval periods. Although not attempting to be fully comprehensive, approximately 380 archaeological wood analyses are reviewed chronologically. For each major chronological period (e.g. Mesolithic, Neolithic, etc) a summary of results is presented and, in addition, key sites or significant analyses are discussed. Major results / themes in the data are reviewed chronologically. This report concludes with a discussion of priorities for future wood analysis work from archaeological sites.
