Scarcewater, Pennance, Cornwall: Archaeological excavation of a Bronze Age and Roman landscape

These archaeological excavations were focused upon the investigation of three sunken-floored roundhouses of Middle Bronze Age date, together with a range of Bronze Age pits and timber structures, a Late Bronze Age roundhouse and palisade enclosure and pits, a Middle Iron Age cairn, and Romano-British settlement and funerary activity. The report discusses shifting settlement foci and changes to Bronze Age roundhouse architecture over a period between 1500 and 1000 cal BC, and examines the relationships between settlement-related and ceremonial activity in the middle of the second millennium cal BC.
