Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Work during 1994 produced evidence for a continuous series of extra-mural occupation beginning in the late twelfth century. Two areas in the rear of the two properties were exposed, containing a series of intercutting pits filled with domestic debris, and parts of two successive buildings of medieval and late medieval date. The earlier thirteenth-century building was a sunken-floored structure, built in timber and stone, which may have been a detached cellar behind buildings on the frontage. The latter, possibly of fourteenth-century date, was probably part of Batayl Hall, known from documentary sources. Two large fourteenth-century ?bread ovens were found in the adjacent property to the north. Lack of fifteenth-century finds may indicate a hiatus in occupation. A large number of pits indicate use of the site from the sixteenth century onwards. Notable finds include a unique assemblage of worked human bone from the nineteenth-century fill in a stone-lined pit, and a mammoth's tusk recovered from the Quaternary gravel during the watching brief. There are separately authored notes on: the `Historical background' by Julian Munby (181--2); `The metalwork' by R Montague (198--200); `The ceramic and stone building material' by R Montague & L Mepham (208--10); `The human bone' by Jacqueline I McKinley (210--12); `Environmental evidence -- the animal bone' by Sheila Hamilton-Dyer (212--16); and `The charred plant remains from ovens 166 and 167' by Pat Hinton (216). | |||||||||||||||||||
