Oxford Lincoln College Phase 3 Kitchen Project evaluation

During late November and early December 1998, the Oxford Archaeological Unit (OAU) carried out a field evaluation at Lincoln College, Oxford on behalf od Norman Machin and Associates for Lincoln College. During the evaluation archaeological deposits were recorded upton 3 metres below exisiting ground levels. These deposits included a number of floor surfaces with associated hearths and occupation deposits from the 10th and 11th centuries; a medieval pit and other probable medieval dump deposits relating to the extant medieval kitchen; and an infilled, but intact post-medieval brick-vaulted cellar. Victorian and later foundations truncated all archaeological horizons where they were encoutered. Associated service runs and modern levels were no more than 1 metre deep.
