Abstract/Summary
The excavation of an archaeological site at Nethermills Farm yielded Mesolithic material, including large quantities of carbonised wood and nut fragments, discussed in this paper. Their analysis indicates a pronounced domination of Quercus (oak). This probably means that wood was collected from local woodland in which oak was dominant. A similar pattern - in which wood use reflects local availability - has been seen at other Mesolithic sites and suggests that no resource management was practised at the time.
