Discussion

This was an area of buried soil (excavated under two spit numbers, 002CB00513 and 002CB00514 to the east), consisting of a pebbly, silty sandy loam. The deposit was bounded on the north by gravel, and on the south by chalk. Over seventy flint artefacts were recovered, although pottery found was from the Neolithic through to the Medieval periods. There was a mucher higher density in the northern half of the excavated area. A characteristic of this deposit was the relative paucity of (10) animal bone found in comparison to (262) objects (a ratio of just over 26:1). When the three excavated areas are taken together, this ratio increases to just under 32:1.
