Abstract: |
During excavation at the site of Wilton Autos a series of bulk samples were taken for the extraction of charred, waterlogged and mineralised plant remains and any other palaeo-environmental evidence present. Particular focus was given to the large late Saxon sunken feature building and the medieval pits. The data represents the first study of charred plant remains from Saxon period Salisbury and allows some understanding of the cereal economy of the period as well as the use of the sunken feature building. The medieval pits have produced evidence for the disposal of waste food and burnt cereals and the data generated generally fits the pattern emerging for the medieval period in urban and semi-urban centres across southern Britain at this time. |
