Abstract: |
Salvage recording was undertaken during the construction of a new Art and Design Block at Evesham College, Evesham. The site (HWCM 2701) lies immediately to the north of a series of important cropmark sites thought to represent intensive Roman occupation, probably of the 3rd to 4th century AD (HWCM 2704). A collection of Roman pottery and ceramic building material recovered from the site as surface finds is stored at the Almonry Museum. The salvage recording revealed post-medieval deposits only. These deposits represented the raising and levelling of a formerly uneven ground surface as a preparation for the modern playing field. Unstratified finds of Roman and medieval pottery were recovered, but it seems likely that these may have been introduced to the site within this levelling material, the origin of which is unknown, albeit probably local. The recovery of larger quantities of Roman material during the construction of the College may indicate that significant archaeological deposits exist, or existed, to the east of the site. Thus, while the salvage recording did not record any significant deposits, it did, to some extent, confirm the archaeological potential of this area of Evesham.[AIP] |
