Abstract: |
In the late summer of 2012 NPS Archaeology carried out an archaeological Strip Map and Sample excavation at 144-162 King Street in Norwich. The site is located in the south-east of the city's historic core. Although the ground surface had been truncated and altered by modern construction and demolition works, significant archaeological remains had survived. Of these remains the most important were those of a Late Saxon cellared building located at the north end of the site, clearly indicating occupation in this period. Other features thought to date to this period were pits, possibly for the extraction of sand, gravel and chalk, or some other as yet unidentified purpose. Pits of medieval date were also identified, including those with a possible industrial function. Along the frontage of the site with King Street the remains of cellars of post-medieval and 19th century date were recorded, as well as similarly-dated robbed out walls of buildings indicated on late 19th century maps of the site. This report presents an assessment of the results obtained from the Strip Map and Sample excavation. The final section (an updated project design) sets out the analysis tasks required to produce an archive report of the excavations findings. |
