Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Report describing the excavation of archaeological deposits on land to the west of Coxwell Road, Faringdon (immediately south of the excavation reported in pages 181--285 of the same issue), carried out prior to housing development. Evidence for a number of phases of periodic activity was recorded, ranging from the Mesolithic to the post-medieval period. There is evidence for a substantial open site during the Early Iron Age; this includes only modest evidence for occupied structures, but is dominated by a large number of pits, the large volumes of many of which suggest they can be regarded as grain storage pits. The imbalance between storage pits and occupation structures points to an unexpected type of site. A small part of the site was reused during the Roman period, the most significant aspect of which was a second-century or later shrine or temple. Struck flint of Mesolithic date, pottery of Early, Middle and Late Bronze Age date and a single Middle Iron Age pit indicate some activity on the site during other periods. The site was subsequently overlain by medieval ridge-and -furrow cultivation. Specialist reports include | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
