The excavation report on a site at Friars Oak which produced remains dating from the Mesolithic through to the Middle Saxon periods. Evidence included prehistoric waterlogged deposits and features from an early Roman settlement but the report focuses on the Saxon occupation. Remains comprised sunken-featured buildings, a post-hole structure and numerous pits and ditches and finds included flint tools, metal and fired clay objects and worked wood. The structures, with the artefactual and environmental evidence, provide valuable information on the economy and society of Middle Saxon West Sussex.Butler, Chris is the author of 'Saxon Settlement and Earlier Remains at Friars Oak, Hassocks, West Sussex (British Archaeological Reports (BAR) British)', published 2000 under ISBN 9781841710525 and ISBN 1841710520.
