Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained during the machine-excavation of a series of pits dug to carry supporting anchor blocks for two slurry pipelines for Cottam Power Station. Both pipelines ran through an archaeological site known to contain important settlement evidence of later Iron Age and Romano-British periods. Cleaning of the exposed surface of one of the machine-pits revealed the compressed remains of a single pottery vessel, together with a small number of sherds from different vessels, all of Romano-British date. The large vessel was a pottery type current from the later Roman period, not previously found in any quantity on the site. The size of the vessel suggested it was from an undisturbed context, which in turn suggested that the archaeological deposits could be relatively well preserved at this point. Unstratified Romano-British pottery sherds were also found in three of the other machine-pits. [Au] |
