Abstract: |
Evaluation trenching of the area of a proposed new house led to the discovery of two ditches and a pit of respective Romano-British and early medieval date. Full excavation enabled further investigation of these features. A small oven or hearth of Roman date and a large linear pit or re-cut to one of the ditches were also excavated. Finds recovered from the fills of the re-cut ditch consisted mainly of pottery originating from the Wattisfield kiln industry in the north Suffolk area. However, amphora, Samian, colour-coated ware and possibly mortaria, imported from the continent, were also present. The range of pottery types, as well as brick and tile (including flue tile), and a few pieces of glass, all of Roman date, suggested that a fairly high-status Romano-British settlement dating to the late 2nd and early-mid 3rd centuries AD existed nearby. Part of a copper alloy needle and three coins of Roman date were also found. Quantities of pottery and animal bone (including butchery waste and a horncore prepared for horn-working) were found in the early medieval pit. The amount of pottery recovered suggested that the pit was used for the communal disposal of domestic rubbish. [Au(abr)] |
