Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was carried out at a late medieval / early post medieval salt-making site at St Michael's Lane in response to a condition upon planning permission for the residential development of the site. SIx areas (20m by 20m, 30m by 10m, 40m by 5m, 30m by 10, 10m by 2m and 25m by 5m) and ten 1m by 1m test pits were excavated across the site. This phase of work followed an earlier trial trenching evaluation. Twenty one filtration units, associated waste mounds and three possible hearth areas were exposed during the excavation. Environmetal sampling established the presence of a lagoon in the north-east part of the site. Reference to the results of an earlier excavation at an adjacent site, had shown this to be one of a series of such features associated with each saltern. Analysis of environmetal samples associated with the filtration units and waste mounds revealed that the silt which was processed at the saltern was derived from the lagoon on site. Analysis of a midden depposit suggested that the salters lived close to the site and possibly operated a mixed economy combining small scale agricultural activity with salt-making. A small quantity of pottery from both local and imported sources was recovered. Brick fragments, including a glazed piece similar to those used for the diaper work in Magdalen College, Wainfleet (built 1484) were also found. These artefacts suggested a late 15th to 16th century date for the main period of activity on the site. [Au(adp)]
