Abstract: |
This report details investigations on the charred charred archaeobotanical material from excavations at the 1st and 2nd century AD Romano-British enclosure at Paxcroft, Wiltshire. A total of 30 environmental samples were taken from features during excavations in 2014, five of which were analysed. Results indicate domestic-scale crop processing of glume wheat, including spelt (Triticum spelta L.), carried out on a day-to-day basis as and when needed. The assemblage was largely dominated by arable weeds and likely represents crop processing waste. The site was short-lived and the lack of permanent structures indicates that it was perhaps intended to be so. |
