THETFORD (SITES 5756 AND 5759), NORFOLK. CHARCOAL, CARBONISED SEEDS AND CEREALS, MINERALISED PLANT REMAINS, AVIAN EGGSHELL
Author(s): P Murphy
The development of the late saxon town of Thetford would have resultedin a considerable demand for constructional wood and for fuel , both for domestic purposes and for use in the pottery industry. However, evidence from pollen analysis and other sources ( Simms 1978, Bennett 1983) indicates that there were extensive prehistoric woodland clearances in the Breckland and it can be assumed that by the Late Saxon period large heaths existed in this area.
