Discussion

The first cleaning spit after the initial machine clearance. In fact, this was the only cleaning necessary in this area, as all of the features became visible after the removal of this spit. Only one animal bone was recovered, along with 41 objects. Of particular note is one of the few Middle Saxon stycas found in the settlement area. Although the coin did not come from a secure feature, it was found midway between two post hole structures, (011BB10006 and 011BB10003).
