Abstract

A palynological study of the floor material of a recently excavated Bronze Age burial cist is presented. This demonstrates a distinctive pollen assemblage rich in a Brassicaceae pollen alongside a more restricted distribution ofFilipendulapollen. The possibility that the pollen is derived from purposeful anthropogenic deposition at the time of inhumation is recognized. It is considered to be of particular significance that this cist falls within a region whereFilipendulatributes have previously been recovered from Bronze Age burials and yet a novel floral taxon is present.
