Discussion

This was the number issued for the machine stripping and subsequent cleaning of Area 2DC. Although the level of finds recovered remains high compared with the rest of the site, there is a noticeable drop from the levels recorded in  Areas 2DB and 2DA to the east, because the protective cover of the medieval headland did not extend this far west, as well as the western limits of the settlement being reached by this point.
