Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring of two geotechnical pits was carried out within the rear extension to 1 Fisher Row, Oxford (NGR SP 50890 06158). It revealed a sequence of deposits indicating several phases of occupation and redevelopment of the building, dating between the post-medieval and the modern period. At least three previous phases were recovered in the former kitchen area, represented by a brick floor revealed at a depth of 0.5m below the current stone floor level, dated to the post-medieval period, a mortar floor and a later clay floor, recovered at a depth of 0.35m below the current surface, indicating that this area underwent a possible change of use during this third phase. A post-medieval hearth was uncovered at a depth of 0.5m ca. below the present stone floor in the vault area. A possible later surface or floor level was also observed, only visible in the north-facing section of the excavated area. The current stone slab floor, recorded in both rooms, is dated at least to the 19th century and represent the latest redevelopment of the building. |
