Abstract: |
Salvage excavation in advance of building work was carried out at Chase High School, a site known as a possible Romano-British kiln site. Deposits relating to Romano-British settlement were revealed, including occupation layers, a crude yard surface, a substantial boundary ditch and a pit containing evidence of metal-working activity. A potentially significant ceramic assemblage was recovered, including domestic debris and mould fragments, possibly representing copper-working debris. Additionally, significant environmental evidence was recovered, notably an assemblage of edible fruit stones that represented the first direct dietary evidence for the Roman period from the county.[Sec(AIP)]\n |
