Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Evidence is presented for a previously unknown Romano-British site, an unsuspected early medieval debris scatter, and an unrecorded Romano-British site with evidence for early medieval occupation. The Romano-British sites flourished in the 3rd and 4th centuries. The early medieval sites, like others on the alluvium of the middle and inner estuary, seem both to have been abandoned by the end of the I2th century, perhaps as part of a movement to create nucleated villages. At one of the early medieval sites there is ceramic evidence for late Saxon activity. The pottery scatters of whatever age all occur within plough depth on the alluvium, suggesting that there may have been continuous occupation and maintenance of seabanks on the margins of this part of the Severn Estuary Levels. | ||
