GAMSTON, PLANT REMAINS FROM AN IRON AGE SITE IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

Author(s): L C Moffett

Samples of charred plant remains were taken from a late Iron Age site on the Trent gravels. Most samples contained small amounts of residual cereal remains but five samples were reasonably productive. Two of these were dominated by glume wheat chaff fragments, primarily spelt (triticum spelta), and weed seeds. Two others were dominated by grains of wheat (triticum sp.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare), and one was of more mixed composition. None of the material assemblage result from different activities taking place on site. There is very little data from the Trent Valley at present and more work is needed before more conclusive interpretations can be made.
