PLANT REMAINS FROM THE ROMAN RIVER EDGE AT BRAYFORD WHARF EAST (BWE 82), LINCOLN
Author(s): L C Moffett
Four samples from Roman and Saxon contexts were taken during excavation of this site, but only one taken from the Roman river edge appeared to have sufficient material to be worth analysis. The plant remains indicated the probable natural vegetation of the river edge and shallows mixed with plants of well-drained disturbed soils, grassland, and woodland edges or hedgerows. Cultivated plants were present in small numbers, including the cereals spelt (Triticum spelta) and barley (Hordeum vulgare), and some possible garden plants: hemp (Cannabis sativa), beet (Beta vulgaris), coriander (Coriandrum sativum) and celery (Apium graveolens).
