THE PLANT REMAINS IN THE ROMAN WELL FILL FROM DROITWICH, BAY'S MEADOW (WORCESTERSHIRE)
Author(s): J R A Greig
The Roman well fill accumulated in the time after around 296 A.D. during an interruption in the occupation of the site, a Roman Villa. Some of the most numerous seeds were from weeds. Among these were some which require warm habitats, and are uncommon (except as casuals) in Britain now, notably henbane and cotton thistle. These finding have been compared with those from other Roman wells as an aid to understanding as much as possible of the Roman landscape.
