Author(s): K M Whittaker
Identifications are given of fragments of waterlogged wood recovered from excavations in 1984. The assemblage can be directly attributed to human activityThe bulk of the assemblage seems to be w trimming from various tree species which were probably locally available. A number of exotics are present for which there may hsve been specific uses, in particular Castanea sativa (sweet chestnut) which is probably a Roman introduction to Britain.
