Abstract: |
Post-determination evaluation, excavation and a watching brief at 42c Bell Street, Henley-on-Thames ahead of development for housing, revealed evidence of medieval, early post-medieval and Victorian date. The deposits related to domestic activity to the rear of buildings fronting both Bell Street and New Street, and were typical of a medieval urban backland. Dated features included 13th to 15th century pits and post holes, and post-medieval walls and foundations. A small pottery assemblage included residual sherds of Roman and 11th to mid-12th century AD date. The animal bone assemblage was interesting in that it was the first collection of animal bone to be published from Henley. The metalwork from the site included a plaited copper-alloy chain, possibly part of a 14th century chatelaine. [Au(abr)] |
