range of environmental samples were taken, these included wood, charcoal,
peat, and other sediments. Three extremely degraded pieces of possible worked
wood were recovered from Area HHH, one stake from P1 and one split post
from Area 16. Other pieces of extremely decomposed wood were recovered from
Area 17, Area P and Area GGG. Where surviving the organic matter (and by

Samples were also taken to determine bleaching rates and for possible Optically
Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating. |
