Abstract: |
Analysis of artefacts from an evaluation on part of the former Leominster Priory site in 2005 was undertaken on behalf of the Friends of Leominster Priory. The earliest artefacts comprised a thin scatter of Mesolithic and Neolithic/Early Bronze Age flint, followed by a small amount of Roman material. Significant Anglo-Saxon deposits were defined and, though these were not productive of material culture, they did produce rich evidence for food consumption and diet, including indications of high status. Minimal evidence for the period of the medieval foundation of the priory and its operation was followed by substantial assemblages of building materials associated with the Dissolution period, and particularly of medieval floor tile which had probably been taken from the east end of the church. Subsequent activity on the site was associated with continuous deposition of finds on the site up to the 19th/20th century. |
