Abstract: |
An Archaeological Evaluation was undertaken in advance of the construction of new school buildings, associated with Building Schools for the Future programme at City School, Stradbroke Road, Sheffield. The evaluation consisted of four trenches placed across the footprint of the proposed new buildings. Results were negative for sealed archaeological deposits, but a quernstone was recovered from a re-deposited context (Trench 1). The quernstone is typical of the 'Hemsbury' type and dates from between 200BC and 200AD. It shows that cereal processing was probably being carried out in the vicinity and that the quernstone was deliberately broken prior to deposition. |
