Discussion

This was one of the initial cleaning spits (with 002CA00102 and 002CA00104) over the north-eastern extent of the loamy buried soil 002CA0080. The material removed was a loamy sand (Munsell colour 10YR 4/4). The finds distribution has a lower density than that seen in the spits to the west, although slight clustering can be seen in the vicinity of Grubenhaus 002CA01042.  Twelve Anglian sherds were found, although both Roman (24) and Medieval (17) sherds are more prevalent. Cattle bones (as was the case in almost every spit of this buried soil) are again in the majority (60%).
