Discussion

This spit excavated the last remaining layer in the south-eastern quadrant of the buried soil deposit 002CA00080. It covered an area of stream channel deposit, as well as coming down onto the earlier buried soil 002CA00081 in the south-eastern corner. The material removed was a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3). Finds included an Anglian perforated and gilded copper alloy pendant. Pottery included thirteen Roman sherds and nine Anglian sherds. In common with almost every spit taken across the buried soil deposit 002CA00080, cattle bones again represented the most numerous animal species (68%).
