Discussion

This was the initial cleaning spit after removal of ther ploughsoil by machine (011AE00001). Generally, it was situated over the frost-shattered chalk, leaving the buried soils and hillwash in the south and east of the area for more detailed cleaning later in the season. Most of the features excavated in 11AE were defined by the removal of this cleaning spit. Before cleaning by hand began, an experiment to clean the chalk by a brush attached to a tractor was attempted in a corridor along the northern boundary of the area. Unfortunately, the cleaning was not good enough and this process had to be abandoned. As became the norm for this area, the ratio between the number of animal bones to objects recovered was less than was found over all of the areas to the east.
