Consists of a draft and final typescript list of people who worked on 'The Ascent of Man' television programme.

A single worked stone fragment was recovered from a stratified context (016). This consisted of a fine-grained bluish grey vesicular quernstone fragment that is identifiable as Niedermendig Műlstein lava (also known as Rhenish or Mayen lava) from the Eifel region in Germany (Kars 1983). Although such querns were frequently used during the Roman period, and are common finds on Middle and Late Saxon sites, they are much rarer in the Medieval period as their use was controlled following the Norman Conquest and many people were instead compelled to use centrally regulated mills (Watts 2002, 38-42). Therefore, although it occurred residually in a later context, this example is likely to be pre-12th century in origin.

In addition, an unstratified whetstone fragment was also recovered from Trench 1 <122>.

In addition to the strip, a number of unstratified fragments derived from a
worked bone needle case were also recovered from Trench 1.
Trench 1, <121>: a cylindrical worked bone needle case, which originally had a screw-on
lid at either end. It is incomplete, comprising nine fragments weighing 26g, and only one
lid is present. The body, which measures 68mm long by 25mm in diameter, has an
external thread at one end and an internal thread at the other. It is minimally decorated,
with a turned ring at either end. The surviving lid fitted the external thread, and
measures 35mm in diameter. Overall, the case is well made and appears to have been
machine-turned, suggesting that it is most probably 18th or 19th century in date.

A single worked bone artefact was recovered from a stratified context at the site. This consisted of a fragmentary worked bone strip, with applied ring-dot decoration, which is most probably Medieval or early post-Medieval in date. F.07, [017]: a worked bone strip, which is pentagonal in section and consists of three broken fragments (only two of which rejoin). A single row of inscribed punch-dot decoration runs along its uppermost face. The strip measures 117mm+ long, 6mm wide and 4mm thick, and weighs 2g. There is no evidence of wear, and it does not appear sufficiently robust to have utilised as a spatula or eraser. It is therefore most likely to have been decorative, and was perhaps originally glued to a box or item of furniture (see for example MacGregor 1985).
