Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents the results from archaeological investigations carried out betwen 2017 and 2020 in advance of development on two adjacent sites in the centre of Wallingford which revealed a sequence of deposits indicating almost continuous occupation from late Saxon times until the present. At 11-12 St Martin's Street, a mitigation strategy was drawn up to preserve in situ the majority of archaeological deposits by foundation design, and only small areas requiring deeper groundworks were excavated. At 13-16 St Martin's Street, more of the site had to be excavated. The earliest features (probably 10th to 11th century AD) included rubbish pits and buildings with cellars, and remarkably similar landuse continued through the 12th to 14th centuries.
