  • Archaeology of Barrow Upon Soar the Archaeology of Barrow Upon Soar
    TheArchaeology of Barrow upon Soar The Archaeology of Barrow upon Soar Barrow is renowned for its marine fossils, plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. These date to the Jurassic period, 150-200 million years ago, long before man existed. The fi rst evidence for man in and around Barrow is from the Palaeolithic period (Old Stone Age) which started 800,000 years ago. Archaeology is defi ned in the dictionary as “the study of man’s past by scientifi c analysis of the material remains of his cultures” whilst history is “the discipline of recording and interpreting past events”, implying the use of documentary evidence. So what archaeological evidence is there? Evidence of the past comes in many forms:- • Stones, mostly fl int used as tools • Pottery • Metalwork & coins • Wooden items • Leather, furs and skins • Earthworks and buildings There are also hints in the landscape and vegetation that can suggest buried features such as pits, ditches and buried stonework from walls or foundations. To protect the remaining archaeology from damage or abuse some of the locations in this document are kept deliberately vague. If you want to know more please ask. Prehistory Prehistory covers most of our past from 800,000 in the Palaeolithic to 2000 years ago at the end of the Iron Age. Few items remain as buildings and many tools were made from wood or leather/skins which have not survived. Pottery is fi rst seen in Britain from the Neolithic (New Stone Age) which starts about 6000 years ago. However, in Barrow, pottery only survives from the Bronze Age.
