That’s what you will find out after reading this story:
-
Archaeologists have revealed a history of nearly 12,000 years in preparation for the development of a new home development in Scotland.
-
The discoveries ranged from the late upper Paleolithic flint to the mesolite camping and neolithic farms to the late bronze age fort.
-
The great spectrum of history surprised archaeologists who wrote that they felt as if they had found “the full FIFE prehistory in one area.”
It was found that an open field in Scotland should be marked with a new new unit. However, when the project took place, archaeologists investigating the territory revealed the history of almost 12,000 years, and the findings reached almost every main period until late upper Paleolithic time.
“Indeed,” archaeologists from Guard Archeology wrote in a Facebook post. They found what was functionally “the whole FIFE prehistory in one area”.
New houses in Guardbridge, FIFE Council area, are a comprehensive list of history remains: Flint from the late Paleolithic period, Mesolithic Hunters’ Campground, Campgrounds, Neolithic Land, Swords made by bronze age metal workers, Iron Age Fort and Medev stoves.
“What really surprised this site was everything else archeology found not only in the Iron Age, but much earlier,” archaeologists wrote on his website. Details of all perennial excavation have been published Archaeological reports online;
The FIFE Council insisted that the development of Persimmon Homes in Northern Scotland to take place in archaeological work until new homes could be built. The archeology of the Guard was summoned, already knowing the ditches in the northeast corner of the one -time village (near St. Andrew) were linked to the historic fort.
Excavations revealed that the Iron Age fort was probably actually built in the late Bronze Age and continued to be used in the Iron Age. “The weaving and acid weights of the fort’s population, while fragments of shale bracelets storm the wool fabrics, and fragments of shale bracelets show a personal decoration,” the team wrote.
Still, the fort was not the most charming find.
In the lower layers of excavation soil, the team found the flint scattering when the earliest locals worked about 10,000 m. Pr. BC. It shows a tent or shelter used by a small group of hunter collectors when they hunted and fished at the nearby mouth.
Uninteresting, the Neolithic period also appeared. The team found what they thought were the remains of the first farming communities in the FIFE district, in the form of many pits throughout the field with burned grain grain, saddle quern and ceramic cloth.
The first feature of the house came from the Bronze Age – excavations revealed “large round houses” filled with ceramic chips and animal bones. There was also metalworking from the late Bronze Age, including rare molds for sword blades and blister gouge (a tool that is common at the time). “There was proof from one of the round palaces that one of its passengers once sat where the tools were squeezed,” the team wrote.
Other evidence showed that medieval corn dries the ovens. So, when the Iron Age came with its fort, Guardbridge’s place was obviously well -mannered.
