Abstract
A street section at Wroxeter in 1962
Graham Webster
Charles Manser Daniels
15 - 23
[SJ 5608]. The Roman street running E-W along the north side of the palaestra was sectioned to reveal eight surfaces in three main phases. Below the earliest street was a complex of stakeholes and later postholes of the military phase, AD 58-85. The street surfaces vary in width and character and are accompanied by ditches and water-mains. Late 4th-century pottery is markedly absent. Small bronzes, samian and coarse wares are catalogued.
Aerial reconnaissance over Viroconium and military sites in the area in 1969
Arnold Baker
24 - 31
Conditions for air photography were exceptionally good in 1969, revealing new features such as a street aligned off the main grid; buildings in insula 3; and a ?temporary camp underlying the street grid. Other temporary camps were recorded nearby.
2a St Alkmund's Place - a late Saxon and medieval site in Shrewsbury

SJ 492125. Removal of an 18th century cellar close to two early churches provided, on the NE face, a "free section" containing four pits, pottery from which included Stamford and Chester wares (the earliest stratified material from the town) and a tripod pitcher of 12th century or earlier date. Pit 3 produced the first animal bones from Saxon levels in Shrewsbury.
Early Shrewsbury: an archaeological definition in 1975
Martin O H Carver
225 - 263
Catalogue of all known archaeological evidence from the town, which was a marsh-bound settlement with (contrary to belief) no evidence of settlement before late Saxon times. Mid-13th century planning may have destroyed most early levels, but several sites need careful observation in case of disturbance. The medieval pottery sequence is deficient, but medieval buildings (often concealed under later façades) provide significant information. The Atcham area, midway between Roman Wroxeter and Shrewsbury, may be crucial for the origins of medieval Shrewsbury.
The medieval parts of Plowden Hall
Madge Moran
264 - 271
SO 375866. The hall and the solar wing only are described and later additions are not dealt with. The hall was probably of 2½ bays with a hipped roof; its surviving arcade pillars indicate a quasi-aisled hall, and the crownpost roof has a truss with double collar and other features diagnostic of a base-cruck truss. An early 14th century date is suggested and this could have been the prototype of base-cruck houses in the area. It was later converted to a fully-aisled building. The solar wing is close studded, has exuberantly cusped roof trusses and wind braces, and principal rafters forming tie or collar beam trusses; a date of mid 14th century is proposed, and the cultural fusion represented by this house is pointed out.
