Discussion

This was the initial spit across the northern extent of the loamy buried soil 002CA00080. The material removed was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/4) although a small clay component was also noted. Spit 002CA00046 was the removal of the same material immediately to the south. Many spits of this material were removed before a sequence of gullies (002CA01016, 002CA01018 and 002CA01128) was revealed below. As with most of these spits, a high density of both objects and animal bones were recovered, with cattle bones (57%) in the majority. Generally, there was a slightly higher Anglian pottery rate (12 sherds) than was found in the spits in the southern excavated areas.
