Monument record MYO3644 - Heslington East Possible Mesolithic Occupation
Summary
Flint suggest seasonal camp site-trench 2
The earliest recorded activity comprised occasional flints dated to the Mesolithic period.
Whilst a substantial proportion of these were recovered from much later features and deposits,
Trench 2 does appear to include at least one feature dated to this period. A second similar
feature, which lacked any finds, may be broadly contemporary. If the interpretation of these features as hearths is correct then it would appear to suggest that the springs in Field 9 provided a focus for activity, probably as a seasonal camping site, from at least the Mesolithic period.
