Abstract: |
<summary>Although they caused some disturbance, the basements on the site ensured the survival of an unusually deep sequence of archaeological deposits. Evidence suggested that the whole site was occupied in the early Roman period, but that much was destroyed by fire, perhaps in the Boudiccan revolt. Evidence of the rebuilding of Roman London was also found in parts of the site. A Roman road was also discovered, on the alignment identified on nearby sites, and part of the Basilica-Forum too. It was deemed vital that deposits threatened by redevelopment be recorded and removed by means of a thorough excavation. The site was one of very great importance. {italon}AIP{italoff}{spacea} |
