Abstract: |
At IAS 3104 a burnt eleventh century AD cellar produced large deposits of charred malt of barley and oats, which had been coarsely ground, ready for wort production and brewing. A Mid Saxon Ipswich ware kiln at the site was fuelled with broom and oak. Other contexts sampled were predominantly latrine-pit fills. Samples from pit fills and other features at IAS 3201 were assessed. Of note was a tenth century AD pit fill with burnt structural wood, charred whole crab-apples and fused masses of charred hop fruits. The evidence for malting and brewing activities at 3104 and 3201 is discussed. At IAS 5203 Mid-Late Saxon pits produced very diverse assemblages of charred material considered to be bonfire debris including hedge trimmings, spoilt hay, bracken and heather. Charred sprouted cereals from a eleventh century cellar are thought to be spoilt grain rather than malt. |
