Abstract Excavations to the southeast of Brough on a site close to the Humber estuary identified three phases of an Iron Age roundhouse, where a community raised sheep and pigs, grew cereals, spun wool and made their own pots. This was followed by early Roman-British boundary and trackway ditches, albeit with likely Iron Age origins. Activity apparently ceased in the second century AD and this might reflect wetter conditions over time with settlement moving further north while previously occupied land was given over to agriculture. Rare earlier prehistoric and Anglo-Saxon finds attest to the longevity of this landscape’s use probably due to the richness of the hinterland between salt marsh and estuary to the south, and drier conditions to the north.

Brough South, East Riding of Yorkshire 的铁器时代和罗马定居点

摘要 在布劳东南部靠近亨伯河口的一处遗址上进行的发掘确定了铁器时代圆屋的三个阶段，其中一个社区饲养羊和猪、种植谷物、纺羊毛和制作自己的花盆。紧随其后的是早期的罗马-英国边界和轨道沟渠，尽管可能起源于铁器时代。活动显然在公元 2 世纪停止，这可能反映了随着时间的推移，随着定居点向北移动，而以前占领的土地被用于农业，天气变得更加潮湿。罕见的早期史前和盎格鲁撒克逊发现证明了这一景观的长期使用，这可能是由于南部盐沼和河口之间的腹地丰富，北部条件干燥。
