Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Severn Trent Water on the Central Sewer Rehabilitation Scheme (WCM 101092; various National Grid References). The groundworks succeeded in revealing significant archaeological strata in two locations, The Shambles and The Cross. Although no artefacts were recovered from the site in the Shambles, The Cross site produced a number of finds dateable to the Roman period. These finds, although probably redeposited, reflected both an industrial and domestic background to the activities occurring in the area. All the other areas of groundworks relating to this scheme around the city showed a high level of truncation from modern services and no significant archaeological deposits. |
