Elements of the extensive landscape gardens of Sir George Staunton are found to have had earlier origins than previously considered. Walled gardens and other features already existed in c 1802 (before the time of an earlier owner, William Garrett). A hamlet with possibly medieval or earlier origins had been swept away by the landscaping. `Environmental sampling' by Claire de Rouffinac (228--31) discusses plant remains from medieval and designed landscape phases.

Two articulated human burials excavated within the northern end of Middle Saxon Hamwic provide important evidence for the early existence of St Mary's church. Residual bone from at least two other individuals was recovered. Radiocarbon dates suggest an eighth- to tenth-century date. For each burial there is a `Bone report' by J I McKinley (257--8, 258), and `Unarticulated human bone' is reported on by J I McKinley & M P Smith (29). Radiocarbon date tables are provided by Oxford University Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (258, 259) burials .
