Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
At Hen Domen (medieval) and Wroxeter (Roman), open-area excavation with detailed plotting of every stone and artefact has permitted the identification of vestigial remains of final-period timber structures in the uppermost soil layers. At Hen Domen, two building periods lay within 6in of the turf-line, where a single ploughing would have destroyed both these late periods, leaving only postholes of earlier periods. A rampart tower revealed itself more by the area of its destruction by burning than by its posthole pattern. Here, as so often, a combination of sill-beam and posthole construction must have been used. At Wroxeter, where a timber and wattle building with curved sides was revealed, even the penultimate layer appears to have contained nine sub-periods. Trenching or gridding at sites like these would have led to gross misinterpretation. Scientific aids, particularly soil science, will have to be employed more often to determine not only contemporaneity of postholes, but functions of buildings. | |||||||||
