A study of the Bronze Age insect fauna

This section examines the insect remains from eleven samples retained during the excavation of site A. The samples are all from ditch fills from a variety of trenches that were dug during the 1993, 1994 and 1995 excavation seasons (§2.5.1). A total of fourteen samples were processed and examined, but three produced no insect remains and are therefore not discussed in detail.As the samples are from different trenches, the insect assemblage can be looked at in a number of different ways: the site assemblage as a whole; the phase 2 inner ditch, as most of the productive samples came from here; and comparisons, if they can be made, between the phase 2 and phase 3 ditches.
