Abstract: |
The evaluation uncovered evidence of dump deposits containing well preserved organic remains overlying natural brickearth. These deposits contained pottery dating from the 15th to 16th centuries along with copper, iron and leather objects dating from the same period. The site was situated beyond the northern fringes of the 16th century city boundary and it seemed that the material being deposited on the site was bought from within the city to this site. A high organic content, particularly leather off-cuts, leather shoes, straw and plant remains, together with the presence of tools, clinker, metal off-cuts indicated that the refuse was both industrial and domestic in nature. The pottery dates suggested that the various refuse deposits had been dumped over a relatively short time span perhaps only a few years. [Au] |
