Excavations at Winterton Roman villa and other Roman sites in north Lincolnshire, = now Humberside S 1958-1967
Ian M Stead
[SE 911182; 945214]. The Claudian military establishment at Old Winteringham developed into a small town, active until the end of the Roman period (coin list significantly later than that of Brough). At Winterton, the first buildings on site were two round houses on stone footings, one Flavian, the other after AD 130; a third followed c 180. At the end of 2nd century thesc were demolished for the erection of a fully developed villa with detached bath buildings, fine mosaics etc. Two aisled buildings prompt a discussion of this type throughout England. The coin list runs to Honorius, end 4th century. There is a separate discussion of the N Lincolnshire pottery industry at this time.

Grimes Graves, Norfolk. Excavations 1971-2: volume 1

TL 820900. A previously undisturbed flint mine shaft was excavated to provide evidence of working practices and clear chronological and cultural definitions. Examination of a substantial surface area around the shaft yielded information about the mining process and working areas. Detailed information on the economy and nature of a secondary, MBA, phase was also obtained. Specialist reports on pottery, human bones, agricultural economy, land snail faunas.

Grimes Graves, Norfolk. Excavations 1971-2: Volume II, the flint assemblage

(See 81/8008 for main excavation report). Of the 6 tonnes of flint pieces recovered (400,000-500,000), 5100 were actual implements, in 17 types. Full quantitative analysis has been done. Only 17 axes were found, suggesting that Grimes Graves was far less an 'axe factory' than a quarry for floorstone flint. Increasing flake broadness as the Late Neo progressed is not due to declining technology - rather the reverse; functional, cultural or technological reasons must be sought. The MBA occupiers were making their implements from the topstone discarded by the earlier miners; awls were an important product.
