ROMAN CROPS AND GARDEN PLANTS FROM TIBBET'S CLOSE, ALCESTER.
Author(s): L C Moffett
A selection of features were sampled for charred plant remains. Most of the material recovered represented cereals, chiefly spelt, barley and naked wheat, with some arable weeds. Some of the third century samples contained the seeds of plants which may have been gardenplants including columbine (Aquilegia cf. Vulgaris), pea(Pisum Sativum) and asparagus (Asparagus officinalis). A medieval kiln/corn drier was also sampled, but the presence of glume wheat remains in this feature suggeststhat some of the material in it may be residual from earlier phases.
