Abstract:		 Between September and October 2012 Oxford Archaeology conducted an archaeological test-pit evaluation and watching brief during the construction of a new fish pass at Hinksey Side Weir, South Hinksey, Oxford (NGR: SP 5216 0466). The initial test-pitting revealed two distinct peat deposits overlaid by a sequence of alluvial deposits below topsoil along the length of the channel. Further monitoring of the peat deposits was undertaken because of the possibility of preservation of organic artefacts or structures, but did not reveal any artefactual evidence or evidence for cultivation, nor was any artefactual evidence recovered from the overlying alluvial deposits. Nevertheless, assessment of the peat deposits revealed that waterlogged plant and insect remains were moderately well-preserved, and a radiocarbon date of 670-775 cal AD was obtained on a waterlogged seed from the lower peat deposit. This middle Saxon date date is consistent with the general environmental sequence previously suggested from St Aldates, but provides closer dating for peat formation than in earlier investigations. The seeds that were identified suggested an entirely natural vegetation, with no evidence for cultivation in the immediate vicinity at this time. This appears consistent with the apparent absence of mid-Saxon occupation south of the Thames at Oxford.
