Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Final publication for the site of a medieval building complex, dug in 1957/58 and 1968/69 by T C M Brewster (now deceased). The topography, geology, and historical sources are outlined prior to details of the first excavations. These, undertaken in 1957/58, isolated three main phases associated with pre-stone building, stone building, and abandonment of stone buildings activity. Nine stone buildings were located in all, associated with local pottery including Staxton wares and Humberwares which provided the main dating evidence -- ranging from early to post-medieval. Later excavations investigated an earthwork mound to the north of the original dig. Three further buildings were located, although their functions as possible garderobes or external staircases can only be guessed. The finds assemblage is detailed, including a little iron, glass bead, roof tile, stone (including chalk which was the main building stone), worked bone artefacts, fish bones and `The animal bone' by C M Rushe, H Smith & P Halstead (143-6). The reasonably extensive pottery assemblage is also detailed, including some IA and RB, Early--Late-Saxon wares and the main body of medieval data. These excavations apparently only touched on c 20% of the complex as a whole, and housing development would seem to preclude any further investigations. | |||||||||||||
