Discussion

This was the 2nd (and central) of three spits (with 002CA00240 and 002CA00242) which were part of the fourth removal of material across the the loamy buried soil 002CA00080. The material removed was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 5/4). As with most of these spits, a high density of objects and animal bones was recovered (objects are not represented in the distribution plot above due to 3-dimensional recording problem). Generally, there was a higher Anglian pottery sherd rate (20) than was found in the spits in the southern excavated areas, although Roman (16) sherds were also present. Once again, cattle bones represent the majority (72%) of animal bones (as they did in almost every spit across this buried soil deposit). Patches of gravel were noted. Linear paterning was now clearly visible, part of a sequence of gullies (002CA01016, 002CA01018 and 002CA01128).
