doing a bit of post-ex and wondering if anyone has any ideas on some strange remains we found.
Basically, close to a prehestoric settlement (probably Bronze-Age) we found a perfectly circular burnt area. The burnt area was approximately 10m across and seems to have been subjected to intense heat. Next to it was a huge pile of crude jar fragments, some of which had odd-looking plugs still surviving. The plugs had metal bits sticking into the jar which look oddly like crude 'leyden jars'
Any ideas?
Hi Jack
I'm afraid more information is needed. This settlement that is "probably Bronze Age? What info exists on this? Also "crude jar fragments"? What date is this pottery? What form does your pottery specialist say it is? Are the plugs also ceramic? One important question is who are "we"? Are you attached to a unit or another archaeological group? The reason I ask is because your "layden jar" comment makes me suspicious that you are angling towards an "earth energy" function. If I'm wrong then sorry but your post is suspiciously "alternative archaeological".
