Abstract: |
Between 1993 and 1997 excavations were carried out on the south side of Bonners Lane, Leicester. This report presents a detailed account of the findings of the excavation and attempts to integrate this information with the results of four other excavations undertaken in the same general area. The excavation site encompassed an area of c. 0.16 hectares on the south side of Bonners Lane, at its junction with Oxford Street (the medieval Southgates), approximately 250m south of the Roman and medieval walled town, but excluded an area in the south of the site and the eastern part of the Oxford Street frontage. This eastern area was subsequently excavated, in order to fully investigate the remains of an Anglo-Saxon building discovered in this part of the site. The total area excavated archaeologically amounted to c. 0.1 hectare. The range of finds included prehistoric (of particular note was a Neolithic polished stone axe), Roman, Anglo-Saxon, medieval, post-medieval, post-Civil War, and modern material. Includes specialist reports on the flint; Roman and early/middle Anglo-Saxon pottery; medieval and later pottery and tile; clay tobacco pipes; small finds including coins and tokens; glass; Roman tile and post-medieval brick; non-ceramic building materials; iron production debris; environmental sampling; human remains; animal, bird, reptile and amphibian remains; fish remains; parasite ova; plant macrofossils; and charcoal. |
