Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The author argues that a series of misconceptions have been allowed to develop concerning the excavations at Mucking in Essex, including via the summary excavation reports by A Clark (Excavations at Mucking 1: the site atlas, London 1993) and by H Hamerow (Excavations at Mucking 2: the Anglo-Saxon settlement, London 1993) and via P Dixon's article on the site (`The Anglo-Saxon settlement at Mucking: an interpretation' in Anglo-Saxon Stud Archaeol Hist 6 (1993), pp 125--47), and seeks to counter them on the basis of his own experience of working there. These alleged misconceptions concern in particular the methods of excavation, such as the mechanical removal of ploughsoil and the alleged improper removal of deeper stratigraphy. Other points challenged by the author relate to the reconstruction of sunken-floored huts at Mucking on the basis of the published evidence, and the failure of the excavation reports, in his view, to reflect the complexity of the site. |
