Excavations at Emwell Street, Warminster: The Early Economy and Environment of a Wiltshire Market Town

Excavations in 1979 on the fringes of Saxon Warminster produced the only substantial archaeological and palaeoenvironmental sequences so far recovered from the town. The report charts the development of early Warminster from its Saxon origins to the post-medieval period, providing evidence for ironforging, butchery and probably leatherworking in this back street area. An important assemblage of medieval Crockerton pottery was recovered.
