A programme of archaeological investigations by the Oxford Archaeological Unit between 1997 and 2000 has revealed evidence of nearly a thousand years of activity on the site. Excavations in 1999 revealed eleventh-century Saxon buildings constructed of timber in an area prone to destruction by fire, as well as one of the largest assemblages of Late Saxon pottery recovered from work in Oxford, and also pottery associated with the use of the college Kitchen. Environmental samples suggested that this was an area for grain storage in the Late Saxon period. Metalwork debris from the earliest horizons suggests that small-scale metalworking also occurred during this period. Thereafter the site appears to have been a waste-ground for c. 300 years. The college buildings were constructed between 1427 and 1437. The foundations of the Great Hall, Buttery, and Kitchen were revealed. Within the Kitchen the postholes of the scaffold erected during the building work in 1437 were found. The appearance of the original fireplaces in the Kitchen was recorded, and a fifteenth-century brick oven was found behind the modern plaster adjacent to the north fireplace. In addition, the Kitchen was equipped with a massive stone-built well, sunk over 7m. into the natural gravel. The foundations of a passage building that linked the Kitchen and the Buttery were also excavated and the above-ground evidence was investigated and recorded. The floor of the Buttery was dated by dendrochronology. Includes: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
