Land at Elmfield House, Petersfinger Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire - Archaeological Evaluation Report

Wessex Archaeology

Only trench 2 contained an archaeological feature that indicates that archaeological remains are present on the site. The feature comprised a spread of in situ burnt material from which worked and burnt flint was recovered. The flints recovered from the feature and the surrounding subsoil are thought to be the product of a single event dating to the Upper Paleolithic (12000- 11000 BP). The probable Final Upper Palaeolithic date and the lack of post-depositional movement of the flint assemblage suggest it is of at least regional importance.
