Assessment of plant and invertebrate remains from excavations at Cawthorn Camps , N . Yorkshire , 1999 ( site 654 )

چکیده
Plant (and in two cases also invertebrate) remains were investigated from 24 contexts associated with two of the Roman >forts= at Cawthorn Camps, on the southern edge of the North York Moors, N. Yorkshire. Ancient plant remains were limited to small to moderate concentrations of charcoal and a very few other structures; all of the uncharred plant material and the few invertebrate remains encountered are thought likely to be of recent origin. Some spot finds of charcoal were found to be suitable for dating provided their archaeological context is appropriate.
