Quote:There's clearly a variety of depositional processes/sequences going on, the charcoally soil ones are obviously different from the ones rammed full of burnt stones for instance, even where they're the same date and grouped together.and you are putting your depositional fantasy into a non entity called "pit" which was constructed by taking material "away". You are comparing cuts based on fills. It almost appears that the pit was constructed if construction is the right word for something that was created by deconstruction.to contain a "charcoally soil", presumably to remain hidden untill required for something.
Personally look at bronze neoages as grotty pot ages because that period is at the remote edge of pot fabric survival. I am quite interested to know how this new pot dateing Rehydroxylation method handles pot from this period because possibly the length of time is such that hydration clay material properties that the method is relaying on are reaching clays natural state and alisdairs bioturbation is really the dominant interpretation that one can ever hope to get out of these deposits. The extreme possibility is that neopits grow out of a much more advanced mesolithic pit culture but that rich inheritance has been all turbated away.
Quote:or we'd get it in features of all periods?dont see why this stands there are deposits like black earths-sorry dark ones that we use to highlight a period unless you are saying that these neo pit fill charcoal deposits are really early dark earths which based on turbation they probably are
sorry where were we, some pits have pot in, some dont and there are probably lots more that dont and we can have their distance plotted from a large variaty of monuments because the neo invented monuments and then we can group them into regions and then contrast them and then sell soap.
As for the placists they are the one who found an iron age ard in the bottom of a so called neo ring ditch or did not spot that the pigs at durrington walls had been collected by a vet. Give them a box of matches and put them in a paper bag and you will never see them agian although unfortunatly the academics dont get to where they are by digging they get there by being in tune with the dead
and this is what neopits evolved into http://www.bajrfed.co.uk/showthread.php?...with-a-cow
