  • Descrição: [...]religion and burial (9) is followed by ‘Highcross Leicester: In Conclusion’ by Patrick Ottaway. The excavation of what became the town house in Vine Street (Site 1) in the south-west corner of Insula V, where a sequence of activity was traced from the mid- to late first century through to the medieval period and beyond, was on a scale potentially to provide an account of the development of one or more properties and characterise the changing life and occupations of their inhabitants. Mineralisation in the pit, evidence that food had passed through the gut, ensured the preservation of seed and plant remains, including exotic imports like figs and grapes, which, along with the remains of 16 cattle scapulae pierced so that the shoulder of beef could be hung for drying and smoking, contributed to the interpretation of the contents as that of a ‘delicatessen’ shop, even though the interpretation as a latrine pit, indicative of the food consumed on the premises, is well founded.
