  • Palaeolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Areas
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelacol. Soc, 19SlJ, 18(3), 367-389 PALAEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES OF THE MENDIP, BATH AND BRISTOL AREAS RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by R. W. MANSFIELD and D. T. DONOVAN Lists of references lo works on the Palaeolithic and Pleistocene of the area were published in these Proceedings in 1954 (vol. 7, no. 1) and 1964 (vol. 10, no. 2). In 1977 (vol. 14, no. 3) these were reprinted, being then out of print, by Hawkins and Tratman who added a list ai' about sixty papers which had come out between 1964 and 1977. The present contribution is an attempt to bring the earlier lists up to date. The 1954 list was intended to include all work before that date, but was very incomplete, as evidenced by the number of older works cited in the later lists, including the present one. In particular, newspaper reports had not been previously included, but are useful for sites such as the Milton Hill (near Wells) bone Fissure, as are a number of references in serials such as the annual reports of the British Association and of the Wells Natural History and Archaeological Society, which are also now noted for the first time. The largest number of new references has been generated by Gough's Cave, Cheddar, which has produced important new material as well as new studies of finds from the older excavations. The original lists covered an area from what is now the northern limit of the County of Avon lo the southern slopes of the Mendips. Hawkins and Tratman extended that area to include the Quaternary Burtle Beds which lie in the Somerset Levels to the south of the Mendips, and these are also included in the present list.

  • A Summary Report and Radiocarbon Date on the Human Remains from a Bone Assemblage Found at Screech Hole, Ham Woods, Near Croscombe, Somerset
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2019, 28 (1), 129-136 A SUMMARY REPORT AND RADIOCARBON DATE ON THE HUMAN REMAINS FROM A BONE ASSEMBLAGE FOUND AT SCREECH HOLE, HAM WOODS, NEAR CROSCOMBE, SOMERSET. by V.J. SIMMONDS and K. BRAYNE ABSTRACT A bone assemblage containing human remains was discovered at the base of a scree slope in Ham Woods, Croscombe by local diggers trying to locate caves of speleological, rather than archaeological, potential. It is noted that the bone assemblage was not recovered by systematic or controlled excavation, therefore, no contextual information is available regarding these remains. The human bone recovered from the site are suggested to represent three articulated inhumation burials – an infant, a seven/eight-year old child and a mature adult. The fact that three individuals have been recovered suggests that this site might contain multiple human burials. A suitable bone sample was submitted for radiocarbon dating, the result suggests an Early Iron Age date for the human remains sampled. INTRODUCTION Screech Hole (NGR ST 5965 4460) is located at the base of a scree slope in Ham Woods, Croscombe on the southern flank of the Mendip Hills, Somerset. The site attracted the attention of local cave diggers and during their activities a bone assemblage, containing human and animal remains was recovered. The assemblage was subsequently handed over to Vince Simmonds and Robin Taviner (Mendip Cave Registry and Archive). It was advised that no further uncontrolled digging at the site should continue and the site has now been sealed to protect any remaining archaeological assets. The underlying geology in Ham Woods comprises a succession of Carboniferous limestones, in the lower combe, the youngest, Oxwich Head Limestone Formation, then Clifton Down Limestone Formation, with the oldest, Burrington Oolite Subgroup in the upper section of Ham Woods.
