| Admin History | The excavation for a swimming pool at the Newquay Pleasure Haven Holiday Camp in 1964 uncovered a ribbon handled urn and knife/dagger. Work was stopped and officers of the local Old Cornwall Society and Cornwall Archaelogical Society (of which Charles Woolf was a member) were contacted and a rescue excavation was arranged. The urn pictured in this image was bioconical, 17 inches in height with a out turned internally bevelled rim and decorated with single twisted cord impressions. The urn contained a cremation and a 3.5 inch knife/dagger, from 'An Early Bronze Age Burial at Rosecliston' by Dorothy Dudley and Charles Thomas in Cornish Archaeology, No.4, 1965. |
