Abstract:
A report on excavations undertaken in advance of development in 1992--93. Three Iron Age inhumations were recovered from a pit group. Iron Age finds are noted in `Worked bone', by Linda Vyner (21--2), and `Prehistoric pottery', by Jane Timby (22--3). Eleven `Roman burials' are discussed by Alistair Barber (23) -- they had few gravegoods (a domestic knife, hobnails, copper rivets, and a possible offering of a joint of meat). The seven `Anglo-Saxon burials' are covered by Roy King (29, 31--2) -- gravegoods included iron knives -- and the `Context of the Kemble burials' is considered by Carolyn Heighway (33--4). `The medieval occupation', described by Roy King (35--42), began with a phase of quarrying succeeded by a large stone building with evidence for both industrial activity and habitation. Associated finds are detailed in `Metal working debris' [blacksmithing] by Chris Salter (42), `The medieval pottery' by Jane Timby (43--5), `Medieval and later small finds' by Linda Vyner (45, 48--9). Appendices comprise `General comments on the human bone' by Terry Jackman (50--1) and `Dental analysis' by Tim Wells (51--2).
