Assessment of insect remains from bulk - sieved samples from the Brooks excavation , Winchester ( Site code BR )
نویسنده
چکیده
Insect fossils extracted by bulk-sieving from samples of deposits at the Brooks site, Winchester, were examined in an attempt to assess the insect content of the original sediment. Remains preserved by mineralisation and anoxic waterlogging were numerous. Preservation of the latter was excellent in a series of cut features of Roman, Saxon and Medieval date. It is recommended that samples of raw sediment should be processed and their insect fauna studied. Intensive sampling during any further excavations in Winchester is urged in view of the potential importance of insect assemblages from the city.
