Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations identified eight periods of activity. A flint gravel `hard' for beaching ships was followed by twelfth-century alluvium cover and rubbish dumping. Grey Friars was founded before 1241 on the built-up surface of the floodplain, in damp conditions, and partial rebuilding took place on the south side of the cloisters. Major rebuilding in period four evinced a chalk rubble layer, dumped to raise the ground level. Minor alteration in the fifteenth--sixteenth centuries were followed by Dissolution, demolition of many buildings, the continued use of some until the late seventeenth century, then the demolition of these too and the construction of The Friars (a house). Fifty-five medieval burials were recovered from the church, cloister walk, cloister garth and graveyard, the majority of which were adult males. There are specialist reports on: `Post-Dissolution history' by Colin Brent (73--4); `Pottery' (102--4 -- mostly med), and `Building material' (104) both by Mark Gardiner; `Decorated floor tiles' by Maureen Bennell (104--7); `Other floor tiles' by Chris Broomfield (107); Roofing material includes details of `Tiles' by Chris Broomfield (107--8), `Slate' by Eric Holden (109), and `Roof furniture' by Mark Gardiner (109); `Stained glass' by Jill Kerr (109--11); `Metalwork' by Miles Russell (111--13); `Slag' by Miles Russell (113); `Coins and jettons' by David Rudling (113--14); `Stone objects' by Mark Gardiner (114--15); `Charcoal' by Simon J Dobinson (115); `Animal bone' by Rod O'Shea (115); `Marine molluscs' by E M Somerville (115--17); and finally `Human burials' by Sue Browne (117--21). | ||||||||||||||||
