Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation and watching brief in advance of, and during, the construction of a relief sewer. This report provided a post-excavation assessment of the data and a research design to see the project through to publication of the results. A previous evaluation had located the remains of a well-preserved, waterlogged timber structure of probable late medieval date. The excavation revealed an extensive, well-preserved wooden platform associated with several substantial uprights. The remains of a second, less substantial wooden platform were recorded to the north of a cobbled surface. In addition, the watching brief revealed a number of wooden barrels set within clay-lined pits. Sherds of mid to late medieval and early post-medieval pottery, wooden artefacts and leather fragments were recovered from above both wooden structures and below the cobbled surface. An extensive palaeoenvironmntal sampling programme was carried out. The result of the assessment indicated that industrial processes, possibly including hemp retting and/or tanning, were being carried out on-site. Dendrochronological dates obtained from the platform and the barrels indicated felling dates in the late 12th to early 13th century. [Au(abr)] |
