Discussion

This was the fouth and final cleaning spit (beneath 002CA00074) 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 5/6). Once again the finds (as in most of the material from this buried soil deposit) ranged in date from the Prehistoric to the Anglian periods, although a high percentage of the pottery from this spit is later Roman or Anglian in date. Many of the finds were small and abraded. 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. The lack of animal bones is notable (in this spit they are clustered on the eastern side of the stream channel) when compared with the densities found in the spits across the more loamy buried soil to the north (002CA00080).
