Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out a programme of archaeological works for the foundation work to the north of St. Mary's church Wargrave, Wokingham, Berkshire (NGR SU 78280 78485). It resulted in the exhumation of a minimum of 89 articulated individual burials. These yielded a great deal of insight into the daily lives of the members of the church over a period of roughly 1,000 years. Positive dating was only possible on roughly 25% of the individual burials we encountered, the date range of occupation at this site spans from the prehistoric use of the area up to the 1980s. The phasing for the excavated human remains was able to be broadly identified to fall into three broad categories spanning c.1100-1900 AD. Architectural phasing from the rebuilding of the church in the 1914 fire was also recorded. |
