| Abstract: |
Presents a summary of information from sites excavated around the Brayford Pool. Environmental evidence shows that, in the later prehistoric and Romano-British periods, Lincoln lay near the head of an estuary. From the Roman to the later medieval period the flow of water through the Pool was alternately slow and almost stagnant, and faster, indicating periodic human interference with the channel upstream. Roman and Saxon waterfront structures consist of fences and fish-weirs but there was no well-defined port area until the thirteenth century. Excavations at Waterside North revealed a series of fences, a possible stone pier or slipway and a small jetty but no sequence of successive waterfronts |
