Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Extensive excavation traced the development of an area of 8.5ha at Elsenham in Essex between the Iron Age and early Saxon period. The main periods of use of the site, when it must have been occupied, lay in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD and, after a break, in the later 3rd and 4th centuries, with more limited activity in earlier and later phases. No convincing building remains were found, but they must have been present in some form, judging from the density of pottery, and of pits. Funerary remains (deposits of pyre-related debris) in the northern part of the site are unfortunately very poorly dated. Most of the evidence, however, came from the changing sequence of land divisions, with an early layout dependent on a droveway and a later scheme consisting of very large fields, with smaller subdivisions. A large pottery assemblage contrasts with the very limited evidence available from other artefact and ecofact types. The implications of a break in occupation are also explored. | |||||||||||||
