Discussion

This was the 2nd of the spits which were part of the second removal (with 002CA00054 and 002CA00056) of material across the the loamy buried soil 002CA00080. The material removed was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3). As with most of these spits, a high density of objects and animal bones was recovered. Generally, there was a higher Anglian pottery sherd rate (27) than was found in the spits in the southern excavated areas, although this spit also contained a significant number (18) of Medieval sherds and Roman sherds (21). Once again, cattle bones represent the majority (66%) of animal bones. This was the first set of spits to show some evidence of linear paterning, although many more spits of this material were removed before a sequence of gullies (002CA01016, 002CA01018 and 002CA01128) was finally revealed below.
