Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during test-pitting (six test pits) and borehole excavation (three boreholes) along the route of the proposed northern bypass, Addlethorpe. Prehistoric remains had been identified, predominently in the western part of the investigation area, comprising Iron Age salt production sites. These sites were located along watercourses that also provided the same suitable conditions for saltmaking during the Romano-British period. Concentrations od Romano-British pottery had also been found south of the village and may have indicated settlements. The investigations revealed a sequence of alluvial deposits, overlying boulder clay and a possible land surface. Briquetage from one of the alluvial layers indicated the presence of a saltern in the vicinity. [Au(adp)] |
