Description

{1} Lyveden site J. This site, excavated by G. Bryant in 1972-3, produced an extensive collection of material including nearly 1700 sherds of Reduced ware. Evidence suggests the site was relatively short lived, dating to the middle years of the fifteenth century; this evidence is discussed on pp.49-50. Some of the types are mentioned on pp.47-9 but it must await a full study of the material before the full range is known. [Information from NRHE: The deserted settlement was abandoned between the early-mid 15th century and the mid 16th century. A quantity of coins were found, but are listed as having been lost.]
