Abstract: |
The watching brief revealed little in the way of new archaeological deposits or features associated with the Roman occupation of the site. However, an east-west terrace wall, first recorded during the watching brief on Plot 1 and 2, was found and may have dated to the 3rd or 4th century. As with the evidence for Roman occupation, Anglo-Saxon occupation of the site was sparse, and in this instance, undated. Medieval occupation was primarily centred on the discovery of an early/mid-13th century pottery kiln. Although not fully excavated, the kiln appeared to have been of the multi-flue type. Elements of the kiln were constructed using clay bricks. Pottery produced in the kiln probably represented the period of change between two pottery traditions in Lincoln: the early medieval splashed wares and the highly decorated medieval glazed was. Later medieval occupation of the site indicated a period of land raising, possibly terrace formation, interspersed with pitting activities. This information further corroborated evidence recovered during previous interventions on the site. Post-medieval activity was, in the main, absent from the site. Victorian terrace housing was discovered to have severely truncated much of the sites archaeological content (within the depth of construction groundwork). [Au(abr)] |
