SNETTISHAM BY-PASS, NORFOLK: PLANT MACROFOSSILS FROM ROMAN CONTEXTS
Author(s): P Murphy
Limited sampling was undertaken to investigate two wells, a 'corn-drier' and other features including domestic contexts. Carbonised plant remains from the 'corn-drier' indicate that it had been used to dry spelt malt and was fuelled with wood and crop-processing by-products. The wells produced assemblages dominated by weeds, indicating that the lower layers formed by natural infilling after areas surrounding them had been abandoned and become overgrown. Other features produced low-density scatters of crop-processing and domestic wastes.
