PLANT REMAINS FROM ROMAN AND ELIZABETHAN CONTEXTS AT GAS HOUSE LANE, ALCESTER, WARWICKSHIRE
Author(s): L C Moffett
Samples for plant remains were taken during excavation of an area of the Roman defences in the town of Alcester. All of the botanical material was reworked but some cereal remains were found, including a sample primarily of spelt chaff. A few asparagus seeds and some unidentified dicotyledonous taproot fragments were also found. An Elizabethan tanning pit and malting kiln were also sampled. The malting kiln produced little, but the tanning pit had material preserved without charring which included tree buds, elder seeds and gorse leaves.
