Abstract:		 The majority of the features excavated dated to the Saxon occupation of Lundenwic. There were two phases of Saxon activity. The earliest phase was characterised by gravel quarries dating to the almost immediate post-Roman settlement by Saxon migrants. The later phase dates to the occupation of the ''emporium'' Lundenwic between AD 600 and 850, before abandonment was forced by Viking raids. Initial evaluation of the site identified heavy truncation, removing all occupation layers, leaving only the fills of deeply cut features; pits and quarries. The fills of the later Saxon pits were characteristic of general settlement activity without being securely related to any specific process or function. The finds assemblage is dominated by animal bone, thus providing evidence of diet and economy. Occasional evidence of craft and industry was also present, illustrated by iron working, manufacture of bone objects and weaving.
