Description
-
- Dumped layer of Roman occupation debris. It's unclear whether this relates to 'domestic' presence or cremation pyres. Hopefully the samples will tell us. However it's fairly clear that this material wasn't burnt on the ground in situ: none of the underlying contexts show signs of having been scorched. If it is 'domestic' does it relate to funerary feasts or post-funerary commerative meals or might it perhaps be related to the activity of the quarry works? Perhaps the pottery dates might be of use in suggesting an answer.
