Discussion

This was the second cleaning spit (beneath 002CA00058) across the stony buried soil (002CA00081) in the area cut by the stream channel, extending out to the east and west. The material removed (by trowel), was generally a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/6). Once again the finds (as in most of the material from this buried soil deposit) ranged in date from the Prehistoric to the Medieval periods, although a high percentage of the pottery from this spit is later Roman in date. Some clustering of the finds can be seen across three Grubenhuaser, 002CA00357 in the east and 002CA00089 and 002CA07000 in the west. Also of note is the high non-local stone density. Although the bone count is slightly higher than in the spit (002CA00058) above, this can be partially explained by the fact that half of them are rabbit bones, and are thus probably intrusive. The lack of animal bones is notable when compared with the densities found in the spits across the more loamy buried soil to the north (002CA00080).
