Discussion

This was the initial spit across the eastern extent of the loamy buried soil 002CA00080 (although some finds were also lifted from the area to the west previously cleaned as 002CA00045 and 002CA00046). The material removed was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/4) although a slightly higher clay component (than in the two spits to the west) was noted. Many spits of this material were removed before a sequence of gullies (002CA01016, 002CA01018and 002CA01128) was revealed below. As with most of these spits, a high density of  objects was recovered. Generally, there was a higher Anglian pottery sherd rate (10 sherds) than was found in the spits in the southern excavated areas, although this spit also contained a significant number (25) of Medieval sherds. Unusually, a very low density of animal bone was found.
