Abstract
The archaeology of the Cleeve-Didcot pipeline, south Oxfordshire, 1989
Steve Ford
1 - 40
A watching brief and excavations along the line of a water pipeline located and examined a number of previously unknown archaeological sites, mainly of Iron Age and Roman date. One site, a pit group, appears to be the first examination of a non-hillfort Middle Iron Age site on the Berkshire Downs. It produced a sizeable number of faunal and carbonised plant remains, allowing comparisons to be made with similar sites on the chalklands of Wessex and the river gravels of the Oxford region. Each main site is dealt with in sections, beginning with Halfpenny Lane (SU 581839) (4--27). This has notes on `Prehistoric pottery' (7--9), `Roman pottery' by Annette Hazell (9--11), `Metalwork' by David Richards (13), `Foreign stone' by J R L Allen (13), `Faunal remains' by Julie Lovett (13--19), and `The carbonised and mineralised plant remains' by Wendy J Carruthers (19--25). Moulsford North Road (SU 587836) (27--30) has sections on `Pottery' (30), `Fired clay' (30), and `Stone' (30), whilst Lollingdon Hill site 1 (30--4) records `Pottery' by A Hazell (34), and `Metalwork' by D Richards (34). Lollingdon Hill site 2 (SU 56668502) (34--7), also details `Pottery' by A Hazell (37), and `Metalwork' by D Richards (37). Finally Aston Tirrold site 2 (37--40) covers `Pottery' by A Hazell (38) and `The carbonised and waterlogged plant remains' by Wendy J Carruthers (38--40). Au(adp)
Excavation and survey at Watchfield, Oxfordshire, 1983--89: an interim report
Christopher Scull
41 - 54
Geophysical survey and trial excavation has demonstrated that Early Anglo-Saxon burials and Iron Age settlement features discovered during road construction in 1983 were part of an extensive multi-period site first occupied in the Late Mesolithic. Au
Mediaeval woods in the Oxfordshire Chilterns
P G Preece
55 - 72
An examination of the composition, history, management, and products of these woods using a combination of documentary evidence and fieldwork. They have never been part of a royal hunting forest, and have mostly been worked as crop-producing woodland, providing a variety of products for local use and for transport to London. Au(adp)
A silver ring from the Wendlebury area
Martin Henig
167 - 168
A note concerning a silver ring with an inset bust of Roma (or Minerva, though the latter is less likely). The ring is in a late second to third century AD style, and its findspot area may indicate that its correct provenance is the nearby Roman small town of Alchester. IH
Trial trenching of a Saxon pottery scatter at North Stoke, South Oxfordshire, 1988
Steve Ford
Annette Hazell
169 - 171
Seventeen sherds of Saxon pottery were discovered during fieldwalking. Trial trenches were cut through high density areas to see if the pottery scatters were concomitant with settlement features. Several subsoil features were discovered which may indicate a relatively wide area of subsoil deposits. IH
