Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an excavation conducted in July 2018 at Oakes Street, Liverpool by the Museum of Liverpool archaeology team. This excavation aimed to explore the remains of courtyard housing on that site, with the objectives of: verifying the potential for archaeological deposits to survive in this area of Liverpool; understanding the methods, date, and phases of construction of the buildings; considering the changes made to the structures in their period of use of housing; exploring the material culture of life within the court houses. The demolished section of the court houses now lies within an area used as car parking which was made accessible for excavation for one week. The excavation opened just one trench 4.5m wide by 8m long, which revealed the area of the courtyard, the fronts of houses on both sides and around 1.5m into the cellar rooms of the houses on the east side of the court. A great number of finds from the late 19th and early 20th century were recovered which provide important information about life within court housing in that period. The project was supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and made possible through the partnership of Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the Museum of Liverpool. |
