Abstract: |
A deep and complex urban sequence was revealed. Natural gravels and a buried soil lay under two lanes of probable pre-conquest date. Large scale 12th/13th century dumps preceded 13th to 15th century timber buildings, yards, lanes, pits and ditches. These were cut by later clunch and brick wall footings and cellars, which were demolished in the 18th/19th centuries. The sequence showed that the medieval street layout was established in the 13th century and that the area was intensively occupied from then until the 18th century. [Au] |
