PLANT REMAINS FROM MIDDLEGATE, HARTLEPOOL, CLEVELAND 1987.
Author(s): J P Huntley
Excavations along the old quayside at Hartlepool, Middlegate revealed material ranging in date from 12th century to post 17th century. Most of the botanical remains were carbonised and consisted of cereal grains (bread wheat and oats predominantly) with some associated weeds and a little chaff. They have been interpreted as general activity in the area but not to specific activities or areas. Two samples had well- preserved mineralised/ waterlogged remains. These were predominantly of food plants and were probably cess-pit fills. An ordination of the data separates the samples into those from pit-fills and those from general back- fill and building layers. The data are similar to thosefrom the nearby site of Church Close.
