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.
