Latton Lands, Wiltshire. Palynological Assessment Report

A palynological assessment of sediments from a Bronze Age waterhole at Latton Lands,
Wiltshire has been carried out by Lancaster University Archaeological Unit (LUAU). The
work was commissioned by Oxford Archaeological Unit on behalf of the client, Cotswolds
Aggregated Limited.
A monolith (0.50m) was obtained from the fills of the waterhole during the excavation of
the site in May 2000. This was sub-sampled in the laboratory at LUAU and six samples
were prepared for pollen assessment and any future analysis; these were examined
microscopically and the pollen types and their numbers were recorded. The data were
calculated as percentages and the results are presented in Table 1.
