Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavation by Northamptonshire Archaeology in advance of a new industrial estate at Bicester Park, on the outskirts of Bicester, examined part of a Roman rural settlement lying just over 3km north-east of the small Roman town of Alchester. The settlement may have been established with respect to a linear land boundary of late Iron Age/early Roman origin and was in use from the later first century AD to the late third to early fourth centuries AD. It was defined by a rectilinear ditch system that was heavily truncated but had probably formed a series of rectangular enclosures and sub-enclosures, with the northern area separated from a domestic area to the south by a trackway. The nature of features in the domestic area suggests that it lay at the margin of a more extensive domestic focus lying largely beyond the excavated area. Finds were generally sparse, although a small amount of iron slag was suggestive of small-scale secondary smithing. In contrast to the bulk of the material evidence, which indicates that this was a rural settlement of relatively low status, part of a wooden writing tablet came from a well. | ||||||||||||||
