Monument record BSE 030 - Westgarth Gardens (Early Neolithic) (Preh)

1972: Preh material found during excavation of ESax cemetery. Includes: unstratified - 5 sherds with flint fillers including one rim and one body sherd with finger nail decoration; unstratified (?) - 322 struck flints (predominantly crudely flaked and flakes rather than blades) including 11 cores. Of 311 flakes, 203 (65%) have cortex remaining suggesting core preparation on site, the remaining 108 are generally much smaller. Pit I: 1 flint filled sherd and four small flint blades (no other finds noted so probably Preh pit).
Grave 34 (Sax): 1 small dark decorated sherd. Originally considered as Neo `Peterborough' ware but possibly ESax.
Grave 64 (Sax): 2 struck flakes.
Grave 6 (Sax cremation grave): flint end scraper.
All in material housed at SAU up to 1993 - material (mostly Sax) housed in Moyses Hall.
