  • Finds on Your Doorstep – 3000 Years of Life in Crowle and Ealand
    1 Finds on your Doorstep – 3000 years of life in Crowle and Ealand - finds recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme Database (search for finds.org.uk) – by Martin Foreman, Finds Liaison Officer for North Lincolnshire. Prehistory, Later Bronze Age to Iron Age (1000 BC – AD 43) 4 records There is no evidence for Stone Age activity around Crowle. This may be because the area was inaccessibly marshy at the end of the last Ice Age, about 12,000 years ago. The Bronze Age also saw a wet climate and sea-levels rising between 1800 and 1000 BC, and hoards [reported elsewhere] may show a ritual response to these threats. A few late prehistoric finds come from Crowle and along Mill Road to the east, while an outlier to the north may lie on the fringes of Thorne Moor. Later Iron Age objects presented here may equally date to the early Roman period. Late Iron Age brooches used a mechanism like a safety-pin to fasten clothing. A little canoe-shaped mortar was used to grind cosmetics or dye – well-turned-out Britons were big on body art, tattoos and perms. Safety-pin brooches from drier land east of Crowle, and a cosmetic grinder from the wetland margin NLM-B9128B NLM-F789C5 NLM-B8D3C3 NLM-2170C5 NLM-2176E6 NLM-F72831 The Roman Period (AD 43-410) 142 records Roman finds point to continuing success of a perhaps recently-established native occupation. Brooches show a Celtic love of swirling curvilinear design and bright coloured enamel, whilst the plainer types found where Roman soldiers camped are rare.
