THE INSECT ASSEMBLAGES FROM THE POND SEDIMENTS AT SITE 30, WHARRAM PERCY, YORKSHIRE.
Author(s): M A Girling, M Robinson
Sequences of samples were examined for insect remains from waterlogged sediments which accumulated in a possible mill pond behind the Saxon dams at Wharram Percy. The aquatic fauna from them was impoverished, comprising species characteristic of temporary bodies ofwater. There were also species of waterside habitats and mud. The absence of a mature aquatic fauna suggeststhat the pond was frequently drained, as would occur if the pond supplied a water mill.
