Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
excavations at Dymock Sewage Treatment Works uncovered a later-first-century rectilinear ditched enclosure containing rectangular timber buildings which were removed and backfilled in the early-second century. The site was occupied by a community whose diet, mode of dress and funerary practices were typical of a rural Gloucestershire population of the period but the layout of the excavated enclosure and buildings was not typical and the occupants utilised unusually `Romanised' material culture and construction methods from c.AD 70. A number of interpretations of this evidence are explored. While convincing evidence for the presence of a military garrison was lacking, it is possible that the enclosure served an official function. The manufacture of copper alloy objects was indicated by a small assemblage of brooch and tool moulds, amongst which were a Chester type trumpet brooch and its mould, the first such example from Roman Britain. The site also produced considerable amounts of iron-smelting slag, although direct evidence for furnaces was lacking. The local manufacture of greyware in non-indigenous forms was also indicated. Activity on the site was much reduced from c.AD 150 onwards and apparently ceased during the third century. Five adult inhumations of mid-second-century date were situated outside the earlier enclosure, while a number of infant inhumations were cut into the backfill of the enclosure ditch. A single probably later Roman building with stone foundations was also recorded. Separately authored contributions include | ||||||||||||||||
