    Oxoniensia 78 txt 4+index_Oxoniensia 17/11/2013 12:05 Page 213 ROMANO-BRITISH VILLA AT COMBE 213 NOTES Archaeological Work in Oxford, 2012 In 2012 the Heritage and Specialist Services Team completed the Oxford Archaeological Plan (OAP). The resulting resource assessment, research agenda and characterisation reports are available on the council website, along with a six-year Archaeological Action Plan for the city. The year also saw a number of substantial city centre projects resulting from the expansion of college facilities, and some notable new information resulting from small-scale commercial and domestic development. Provisional summaries for selected sites are provided below. SELECTED PROJECTS 19 St Andrew’s Lane, Headington In January JMHS carried out an archaeological evaluation prior to the construction of a small extension at 19 St Andrew’s Lane. The evaluation recorded a post-medieval well and a series of cess pits filled with dump deposits containing animal bone, late-medieval and early post- medieval pottery and brick. At least six post holes from an unidentified structure possibly post- dating the pits were recorded. Nos. 6–7 High Street (Jack Wills, formerly Ryman’s Stationers) In February three test pits were excavated in the basement of Nos. 6–7 High Street by OA. A number of medieval pits containing domestic and butchery waste were recorded, along with a stone drain or wall foundation. The backfill of one feature contained a fired clay annular discoidal loom weight of likely early to middle Anglo-Saxon date (c.400–850). In June a lift pit was excavated in the basement revealing in section the edge of a possible wood-lined pit, potentially a ‘cellar pit’.
