Summary
Sherds of later Bronze Age pottery and prehistoric flint flakes were recovered from the site.
Monument Type(s):
- FINDSPOT (Late Bronze Age - 1000 BC to 701 BC)
Description
18 sherds of later Bronze Age pottery were recovered from a c.0.4 m thick dark clay silt deposit, directly overlaying the natural geology (and sealed by chalk levelling deposits associated with the construction of the Edward III Round Table building). A 100 litre bulk sample of this clay silt deposit was retrieved for analysis, and was found to contain worked flint, burnt flint, bone, prehistoric pottery and pottery dating from the 11th - 12th century AD. The character of the deposit suggested deposition via gradual accumulation derived from organic decay, frequent but small-volume dumping and possibly minimal importation, with constant reworking of the deposit through animal/human trampling and weathering <1>.
