Abstract: |
Assessment of Palaeoenvironmental Evidence from 86562 Outseats Farm, Alfreton - Archaeological Trial Trench Evaluation.
Seven bulk samples were taken from a range of medieval ditches and were processed for the recovery and assessment of charred plant remains and charcoal. The size of the sam-ples varied between 33 and 40 litres, and on average was around 38 litres.
The flots were generally small and there were high numbers of roots, fungi sclerotia and modern seeds that may be indicative of stratigraphic movement and the possibility of con-tamination by later intrusive elements.
Charred material was very rare and comprised varying degrees of preservation. The plant remains included grass (Poaceae) grain fragments (one from an indeterminate cereal) and culm fragments, a vetch (Vicieae) and a plantain (Platago lanceolata) seed.
Wood charcoal was noted in small quantities and all fragments belonged to mature wood.
