Abstract: |
The watching brief comprised the recording of open groundworks and recovery of
exposed/disturbed artefactual material, followed by the observation by a competent
archaeologist of all further intrusive groundworks associated with the proposed
development in the area, and further metal-detector scanning of the open
excavations. These works comprised the machine excavation of foundation and
service trenches. In September 2019, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an
archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with
residential development at Project Aquarius Bamfileld, Hengrove,
Bristol.
A coin hoard, consisting of pottery vessel container, copper-alloy
scale pan lid, and 309 bronze and silvered-bronze coins, was
recovered following emergency attendance during development
groundworks.
The recovered coin assemblage dates exclusively to the middle
of the 4th century AD and included a significant number of coins
struck by the usurpers Magnentius and Decentius, who ruled the
western provinces of the Roman Empire between 350 and 353. |
