Cold Harbour Farm Crowmarsh, Wallingford

Author(s): Mariangela Vitolo

Two environmental samples from a Roman corn drying oven at Cold Harbour Farm, Wallingford, Oxfordshire, produced evidence for a range of charred plant remains, including cereal grains and chaff, weed seeds, and food plants, such as peas. The assemblage suggests the use of grain processing waste (chaff and weed seeds), as a fuel for the furnace.
