Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Wallingford Burh to Borough project is shortly to produce its final report on full-scale excavations at key areas of this Oxfordshire town. However, exploring more fully questions relating to which parts of the town were settled earliest and for longest, whether indications of trading or social structures survive, and how much archaeological stratigraphy differs in depth over the town requires an alternative to large-scale excavation. This article reports on an ongoing urban test-pitting programme which is being undertaken on behalf of the project by the Wallingford Historical and Archaeological Society. To date 91,542 items have been recovered, including 12,001 pot sherds. Plotting the densities of pottery and other finds for different periods is revealing valuable information, including evidence for the contraction of the town from the late 13th century. Other significant discoveries have included remains of the medieval priory and the Hospital of St John. LD | ||||||
