Funny how similar 'random' dates out of ditches never seem to come out Neo.... :face-thinks:
Yes, actually, I've had 'stray' Saxon dates before as well, PhD anyone?

Yeah they sometimes smoke
But there is also plastic utensils
Wood utensils (non branded ice creams), so as not to damage the human remains, whilst bucket smearing the entire surface where you would undertake AMS.
What we are talking about is extracting the relevant statistical continuums for appropriate standards undertaken by individuals in association with the nomimal continuums.
Then you've got to decide what nomenclature business model your going to recomend for utility, but to be honest, if you listen to logic and computing analysis and they don't recognise anything beyond 'human error'.
Are you interested in finding the error, or is proximity sufficiently statistically acceptable, within short contract compliance frameworks?

There's more likely to be more later intrusions than earlier coz of preservation and weight of time/burning events.

To be honest I just concerned about establishing constants that enable us to refine resolution within the decay proportioned volumes.
so im looking for c
What is the biogenic background ambient of bacteriological decay of organic matter on a site?
What is the atmospheric values upon contact with the local atmospheric ambient?
What is the collective soure of organic biogenic inputs from food chain diet?
What is the carbon impact of multi-source tabacco ash carbon sourcing imprinting footprint IF introduced?
What are the constants introduced through glove usage to surface, through moisture porocity transference (Sweat:Rain)?
What is the degree of isolation introduced by spot-dating specialist imprinting that can be established?
If we only look at the Carbon element of structures and such as preserved elements, we can always identify error, but the categorisation of error factors within conditionality states, then enables secure chains of introductory divergence confidence levels, that build indexation for further validatory rigor.
But I would suggest this is market element, where human adaptation becomes residual to prior or initial target imprinting within past EVENTS, as compound supersymetry assumptions.

Good grief! - took a long time to find this thread, 11 pages down!
Bog-standard 0.8m dia Neolithic pit with usual soil fill with charcoal and pot mixed in, but with the added novelty bonus of a small boulder sitting in the top (actually on the spoil-heap, machine dragged it out - oops!)
- anyone know any published parallels?
...apart from Stonehenge etc, to head off the anticipated hilarious replies...

Not 'boulders' as such, but if you can track down the Wessex report for Barford Road, St Neots (dug in 2000/2001 if memory serves) there was at least one Neo pit that I dug which had a couple of very odd rocks placed well within the fill. I don't know what type of rock the first one was, but it was cris-crossed with a crystaline structure that made it resemble a brian and the other was a large, round, flint nodule with a deformity that made it look like an eye. No obvious practicle function for either rock and neither had been modified in any way. I think it was just put down to 'wacky prehistoric sh*t'.

try stone and young 1948, grooved ware pits near woodhenge, in wiltshre archaeol mag, if memory serves they had a cairn on top of one pit
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers

Have tried that one, management edited in out, think you're supposed to use phrases like 'ritual of place' and similar b***ocks waffle these days - have got a quote involving '...the paraphenalia of witchcraft...' for one pit fill past editing in a draft monograph though - as long as someone else said it in print it generally seems to be fine...

This was a good thread (at least mostly), thought I'd try resurrecting it, having finally found it!
Anyone know if anyone's ever done any serious study of the location of these 'ere Neolithic pits in the landscape? Being engaged in stripping a big linear corridor at present, it's getting reasonably predictable where one should be expecting the things (although not always foolproof), on higher ground bordering and overlooking wet areas (ponds, marshes, streams, rivers etc, and in one case they have a cracking sea-view). This certainly seems to work for North Yorkshire and one site in Co Durham. Does the same happen elsewhere?
