Petrological and geoarchaeological analysis of volcanic horizons and quarrying discovered at Dainton Elms Cross, Ipplepen, Devon
Petrological and geoarchaeological analysis of volcanic horizons and quarrying discovered at Dainton Elms Cross, Ipplepen, Devon
Archaeological excavations on land adjacent to Dainton Elms Cross, Ipplepen, Devon in 2012 and 2013 revealed previously unseen geological strata. Detailed field and laboratory analysis illustrated a range of igneous deposits including tuff, basalt and thin pyroclastic horizons associated with explosive volcanic episodes during the Devonian period (375-398 Ma). These horizons appear to have been the focus of deliberate quarrying during the Romano-British and later periods within a wider industrial landscape.

Abstract
Archaeological excavations on land adjacent to Dainton Elms Cross, Ipplepen, Devon in 2012 and 2013 revealed previously unseen geological strata. Detailed field and laboratory analysis illustrated a range of igneous deposits including tuff, basalt and thin pyroclastic horizons associated with explosive volcanic episodes during the Devonian period (375-398 Ma). These horizons appear to have been the focus of deliberate quarrying during the Romano-British and later periods within a wider industrial landscape.
