Abstract: |
Extensive and well-preserved deposits of archaeological significance were revealed and recorded, dating from the late prehistoric period to the present day. These included a Roman road and stone structures, the stone boundary walls of medieval burgage plots as well as numerous cut features relating to the occupation of those plots from the 12th century to the present day. Finds included a large group of pottery vessels spanning the entire occupation period of the site and a large collection of clay pipes, many probably made on or close to Bottle Bank. These could be set alongside rare and unusual finds, such as a set of three medieval wooden bowling balls and several 17th century shoes. The assemblage represented the largest and widest-ranging body of archaeological material to be recovered by excavation from Gateshead to date, and was of considerable importance to an understanding of the development and growth of the town, together with its economic and social identity.
