Canterbury Excavations Intra- and Extra-Mural Sites 1949-SS and 1980-84 by S.S. Frere, P. Bennett, J. Rady and S. Stow. Vol 8 in the Archaeology of Canterbury series.
This monograph includes accounts of excavations by the Canterbury Committee between 1949 and 1955, and the Canterbury Archaeological Trust between 1980 and 1984.
This report includes full publication of the important Whitehall Road site which produced Neolithic, Late Iron Age and Early Roman occupation west of the Stour and outside the area later contained by the city defenses. A Roman cemetery under Lady Wootton's Green, east of the city wall, complex occupation levels against Roman Watling Street near the Dane John Gardens and excavations in the area of the Roman Forum at the center of the city are also included in this volume.
The C.A.T. reports include work on the 800-year-old cathedral water supply, St Sepulchre's Nunnery and a large Roman cremation cemetery at Cranmer House, London Road, which produced 50 Roman cremation burials together with a small group of late 6th to early 7th century finds. Anglo-Saxon finds include the beautiful gold pendant, published in the volume in full color: "one of the most complex and splendid pieces of Anglo-Saxon jewelry to have been found since the discovery of the Sutton Hoo burial". Other accounts include work on the Roman Forum, medieval All Saints Church and the King's Bridge and the motte-and-bailey construction of William I in the Dane John Gardens.
Specialist reports include the Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Post-medieval glass from the 1946-60 excavations, together with a section on the grave goods from the Cranmer House cemetery.
