Abstract In 1992 two Middle Neolithic adult skeletons were excavated by South Yorkshire Archaeological Services from beneath a rock overhang at Scabba Wood (SE527019), near Sprotbrough, within one of the valleys north of the Don Gorge. In 1994, the Yorkshire Archaeological Society’s Doncaster branch carried out a geophysical survey of a rectangular enclosure (SE530019), previously recognised by air photography, north-east of the wood, and in 1996 they began the excavation of a stone-walled, sub-rectangular enclosure within the wood, 150 m south of the rock overhang (SE530107). In 1997 and 1998 they were joined by a team from Sheffield University that also continued investigations at the stone-walled enclosure and along the rock overhang. Finds indicate occupation from the Late Iron and Roman period and Neolithic and Early Bronze Age use of the rock overhang for the disposal of the dead.

位于南约克郡 Sprotbrough 的 Scabba Wood 的史前岩石避难所墓地和围栏

摘要 1992 年，南约克郡考古局从斯卡巴伍德 (SE527019) 的一块岩石悬垂下挖掘出两具新石器时代中期成年骨骼，该处靠近斯普罗特布鲁，位于顿峡谷以北的一个山谷内。1994 年，约克郡考古学会的唐卡斯特分部对一个矩形围栏 (SE530019) 进行了地球物理调查，该围栏以前被航空摄影识别过，位于木材的东北部，并于 1996 年开始挖掘石墙，亚木材内的矩形外壳，岩石悬垂以南 150 m (SE530107)。1997 年和 1998 年，来自谢菲尔德大学的一个团队也加入了他们的行列，该团队也继续对石墙围墙和岩石悬垂进行调查。
