PLANT MACROFOSSILS, ARTHROPODS AND CHARCOAL FROM WEST HILL, ULEY, GLOUCESTERSHIRE, 1977-1979.
Author(s): M A Girling, V Straker
Mineralised seeds and arthropods from a Romano-British latrine pit give evidence of human excrement, rotting organic material and animal fodder in the form of seeds of plants cut from a managed grassland, and possibly fed to the goat herd kept in the vicinity of the temple. The charcoal, most of which came from ritual contexts, was all of native British taxa, predominantly Oak, Ash and Pomnoidae.
