Dorchester Excavation Update – July 2011
Despite the hiatus taken for the larger aspects of the project, this season, Dr Gill Hey led a small team to continue the work begun last year on the Neolithic cursus near Berinsfield. A circular enclosure constructed after the deliberate backfilling of the cursus ditch included a central feature which housed a single Beaker period inhumation with an all-over corded ware beaker (recovered intact). The complexity of the grave sequence will likely mean a return to this feature next season. Additionally, there is much more to be discovered in the Dorchester Allotments, and we will be returning there to excavate in July 2012.
If you would like more information about the project, or how to get a place to dig during the 2012 season, please contact wendy.morrison@arch.ox.ac.uk
