Salt of the Hearth: Understanding the Briquetage from a Later Romano-British Saltern at Pyde Drove, near Woolavington, Somerset
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 May 2017
Abstract
A saltern associated with salt production was excavated at Pyde Drove, near Woolavington. The large assemblage of briquetage recovered has allowed for some novel interpretations of the function of the different component types within the hearth structures. The saltern comprised a mound of waste material adjacent to 12 brine-settling tank pits and two salt water channels. A further settling tank was revealed beneath the mound. The pottery indicates that activity on the site dates to the later Romano-British period.
