Discussion

This was the initial spit across the central extent of the loamy buried soil 002CA00080. The material removed was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/4) although a slight clay component was also noted. Spit 002CA00045 was the removal of the same material immediately to the north. 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 (58%) in the majority. Generally, there was a higher Anglian pottery sherd rate (14 sherds) than was found in the spits in the southern excavated areas.
