Abstract: |
The earliest anthropogenic feature found during the evaluation excavation of this site was an enhanced natural feature cut into mineralised gravels, probably in order to extract iron rich gravel for smelting. The fills of the extraction pit were dated to the 11-12 centuries. Faunal remains recovered from the pit indicate that the preparation of hides and furs as well as horn working was taking place in the vicinity. Garden-soil like material then built up over the pit sealed by make-up prior to the construction of two adjoining 13th to 14th century timber buildings. The second phase of buildings on the site were probably substantially altered in the 1830's following the construction of Duke Street. They probably stood until 1942 when they were destroyed during one of the 'Baedeker' air raids. The site remained vacant since WWII. [Au(abr)] |
