Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This paper presents the results of archaeological investigations undertaken at the former Parcels Office on Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, which was conducted in advance of the conversion of the listed railway arches and the construction of a new hotel. The archaeological investigations have provided evidence of activity on the site from the Roman period through to the early twentieth century. This evidence suggests that the site was situated on the periphery of the civilian settlement associated with the Roman fort of Pons Aelius. The site was not intensively occupied until the thirteenth century, a period which included small-scale tanning activities and the beginnings of what would become the fully established Westgate Street. Most significantly, the investigations have shown that significant archaeological remains can still occur, even in the most heavily urbanised areas. | ||||||||||
