  • Late Bronze Age & Iron Age Berkshire
    SOLENT THAMES RESEARCH FRAMEWORK LATER BRONZE AGE AND IRON AGE BERKSHIRE Steve Ford October 2007 Inheritance The subdivision of prehistory into periods has long been recognised as a mechanism for description of what is essentially a continuum of development. Yet some of the subdivisions are of much more significance than others, for example the introduction of agriculture. For the period under consideration here it is not therefore that the widespread adoption of iron which is necessary significant but perhaps the transition from ‘monument dominated landscapes and mobile settlement patterns to that of more permanent settlement and a greater emphasis on agricultural production' (English Heritage 1991, 36). It was considered that the onset of the Middle Bronze Age defined this in cultural terms and, more importantly in physical evidence terms (Ellison 1981). Whatever the merits of this concept for other regions, or in terms of absolute chronology, or in terms of conservatism in material culture and way of life, the study area has now provided data with which to reconsider this concept. It is considered that the transition described above is most evident from the late Bronze Age rather than the middle Bronze Age within the study area. Chronology The chronology of the period is not especially well documented in terms of radiocarbon dates, when considered against the relative wealth of excavated deposits in the later Bronze Age. Some of this is partly a response by earlier excavators to the nature of the radiocarbon calibration curve which is relatively flat for the Late Bronze Age and what would be considered squandering of valuable resources for a period relatively well supplied by pottery chronology.

  • Rare Plant Register
    1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.

Contributors of records to the systematic lists are usually identified by initials: a table of names and initials is shown at the end of the lists. The systematic lists for 2006 and 2007 were edited by Chris Heard. abbreviations and place names Abbreviations used in the systematic lists are shown below. For place names difficulties arise where there are several names for the same sites including where, for example, a gravel pit complex is named but not the individual pit . A map and guide to the main sites is included towards the end of the report to assist with identification and further detail can be found at www.berksbirds.co.uk/pits.asp. age/Sex PlaceS/LocaLitieS ad adult com Common f/s First summer CP Country Park f/w First winter (plumage) fm Farm imm Immature GC Golf course juv Juvenile GP Gravel Pit(s) s/p Summer plumage K&a Kennet and Avon s/s Second summer res Reservoir s/w Second winter r.
