Abstract
A STUDY of the palaeo-ecology of an area in South Yorkshire has revealed an exotic element in the Bronze Age insect fauna (about 1100 BC), together with evidence for southerly restriction in the distribution of some British species. This fauna has been studied in relation to a number of archaeological features relating to forest clearance.
