Time Team - Oldfurnace Cottage and Eastwall Farm, Oakamoor, Staffordshire - Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2004-03-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Industry, Medieval Industry
The results of the work at Oldfurnace Cottage confirmed that iron smelting using the bloomery process, with associated pottery of 13th-14th century date, was well established on the site in the medieval period. However an unstratified sherd of Late Saxon pottery suggested that iron working on the site may have begun as early as the 10th-11th century. The bloomery slag was overlain by large [...]
1 Old Queen Street Westminster - Archaeological Watching Brief Report
Published: 2004-03-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Post-Medieval Artefacts
One of five geotechnical test pits contained evidence for the presence of riverine deposits comprising layers of peat and a second pit contained evidence of rubbish dumping dating from the medieval and Post-medieval periods. Deposits were located in two more pits but these appear to have been disturbed and no dating evidence was recovered to determine their archaeological significance. The fifth [...]
Former Vauxhall Garage Bury Road, Thetford, Norfolk - Archaeological Watching Brief Report
Published: 2004-03-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Artefacts
Six of the ten test pits contained archaeological deposits. These comprised layers and ditch/pit features. Pottery sherds recovered from deposits in three test pits date to the Late Saxon/Early Medieval period. Considerable quantities of bone displaying butchery marks were also recovered from deposits in six of the test pits. This reflects the findings of a previous evaluation of the [...]
Land West of Radlett Aerodrome Frogmore, St Albans - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2004-03-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The Site is located in an area where prehistoric activity is evident through the discovery of early prehistoric flint work and later prehistoric evidence for occupation. The Site is located due east of the Roman road known as Watling Street and is situated between the Roman settlements of Verulanium (St Albans) to the north and Sullonicae (Brockley Hill) to the south. Settlement and related [...]
Granite Wharf, Greenwich London Borough of Greenwich - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2004-03-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
Archaeological evidence has been gained from the Site with the presence of the magazine building but it and earlier deposits will have been removed by 19th century brickearth extraction across part of the Site. The recorded artefactual finds from prehistory are mainly due to the near locality of the river, with finds washed up along the foreshore and the discovery of a Bronze Age trackway and [...]
Stratford Centre London Borough of Newham - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2004-02-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The historical and archaeological evidence suggests that there is possible potential for archaeological remains of all periods, and in particular a high potential for Roman remains. The possible presence of prehistoric and Saxon deposits of high significance, due to their rarity and favourable preservation conditions, is also noted.
Time Team - Roxburgh, Floors Castle Estate, Kelso, Scotland - An Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2004-01-01
Subjects: Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Settlement
A modest assemblage of medieval finds, including mostly pottery and animal bone, was recovered, along with food remains such as oyster shells, hazelnuts, and grains of oats, hulled barley, wheat and rye. No structural evidence for the churches of the Holy Sepulchre or St James’ were recorded. A carved key stone in trench 4 may have derived from an ecclesiastical building, otherwise the presence [...]
68 London Street Reading, Berkshire - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2004-01-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Structure
Work was carried out on the 16th and 17th December 2003 and involved the excavation of two trenches totalling 25m² in area. Both trenches revealed evidence of significant Post-medieval and modern disturbance comprising layers of demolition and levelling and a number of discrete features. Evidence of medieval activity was located in one trench in the form of a pit containing a fragment of [...]
Park Mill Farm Princes Risborough Buckinghamshire - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2004-01-01
Subjects: Iron Age Settlement
The majority of trenches contained little or no remains of archaeological interest. However, a concentration of features, including pits, postholes and ditches containing Early to Middle Iron Age pottery, was found in the southern part of the evaluation area. The remains suggest that there is a focus of late prehistoric settlement activity in this part of the Site.
Wessex Archaeology Springhead Quarter Ebbsfleet, Kent - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2004-01-01
Subjects: Anglo-Saxon Funerary Site, Iron Age Enclosure, Mesolithic Flint, Neolithic Flint
Forty-eight out of 107 trenches contained archaeological features. A high number of these were single and often undated features of a rural nature, such as field ditches. Early prehistoric evidence consisted of residual worked flint within the fills of later features and colluvial subsoils, mostly concentrated along the western edge of the Site. In this area, some trenches revealed stratified [...]
Time Team - Loch Migdale, Sutherland, Highlands, Scotland - Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2003-12-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Ceremony, Bronze Age Settlement, Neolithic Ceremony, Neolithic Settlement
The archaeological evaluation comprised a geophysical survey and trial trenches, which were located across a crannog, a henge and a hut circle. The opportunity was also taken to examine a number of additional features, including a cairn, two hollows and a shieling. The evaluation has produced important new information on the prehistory of the area.
Time Team - Green Island Poole Harbour, Dorset - An Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2003-12-01
Subjects: Iron Age Industry, Iron Age Settlement, Romano-British Industry, Romano-British Settlement
The archaeological evaluation comprised a geophysical survey and the excavation of three small trenches and five test pits. There was evidence for industrial activity, specifically shale-working and iron smithing, in the Late Iron Age and into the Early Roman period. A small range of other items, such as the rotary quern, worked flint and iron nails may also have had an industrial purpose. These [...]
Joseph Chamberlain College Birmingham - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2003-12-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
Very little was noted either from the SMR data or through the map regression exercise, with only Roman stray finds of coins and Post-medieval structural evidence in the environs of the Site. Impact from the construction of the retail complex will be slight due to the intention to surcharge the present land levels and then discretely pile through the raised level.
Suffolk House, George Street London Borough of Croydon - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2003-12-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
Prehistoric activity from all periods is attested in this area of Croydon. Roman and medieval settlement and cemeteries appear to be concentrated to the south and west of Suffolk House; activity in the area of the Site, especially in the medieval period, is likely to have been rural in character and not have produced significant archaeological remains. In the Post-medieval period development was [...]
Land at Gambia Street, London SE1 London Borough of Southwark - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2003-11-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The Site is located between two crossing railway viaducts and two roads, with the Jubilee Line beneath. It has had both residential and commercial properties on the area and the street names have been changed from the original Charlotte Street (now Union Street) and William Street (now Gambia Street). Prior to the roads being in place (before the late 18th century) the area was used as tenter [...]
