Abstract:		 Limited excavation on land to the rear of 50-62 Church Street, Damside Street, Lancaster yielded Romano-British, medieval, and post-medieval finds, which is to be expected given the long history of this part of Lancaster. Most of the earlier material came from mixed deposits as much of the site has been heavily disturbed by later, post-medieval activity, relating to 18th century development of the wider quayside and later backfilling and redevelopment along Damside Street in the 19th to 20th century. Possible riverine deposits, which contained post-medieval and residual Romano-British and/or medieval material, were encountered at the base of two trenches. The Roman pottery dates from the late 2nd to early 4th century and includes fine and imported wares as a result of the Roman military presence at Lancaster, yet the assemblage as a whole is more consistent with a basic rural site than what might be expected from a site within a Roman town. The more central area was less intrusively developed and an in situ timber drain of 12th century or later date was exposed and recorded in this area, which demonstrates the potential for medieval (and possibly earlier) features to be preserved in this part of Lancaster. A rare stamp clay tobacco pipe stem with the rolled mark of Elizabeth Savage was also recovered; it is only the second site to produce a stamp of this type, raising the possibility that this maker may have worked in the Lancaster area for a time during the 18th century.
