| Abstract: |
This report describes the study of some 880 wooden stakes from Roman through to eighteenth century deposits at Upwich, focusing particularly on the Saxon phases (four & five). The majority of the Saxon stakes formed alignments of uncertain function bordering salt-boiling hearths. The stakes were both of roundwood and split wood. Most of the Roman stakes were of oak, and oak dominated the assemblages from phase five onwards. A much wider species range characterised Saxon phase four, and the records of size and age give an indication of the character of the Saxon woodland under exploitation, which is suggested to be unmanaged and secondary. The stake points demonstrated a wide variety of styles from simple single facets to finely worked pointed ends, and gave an insight into aspects of Saxon woodworking technology. |
