An Early Saxon wooden platform on the River Lea at Edmonton, London
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents the results of excavations at Glover Drive, Edmonton, at a site located on the west side of the Lea Valley. In the past the valley comprised a spread of shifting channels, most of which are now silted and buried. Excavations within the floodplain revealed a sequence of deposits relating to former channels. These provided evidence for the past environment, anthropogenic activities and management of the landscape from the Mesolithic period to the present. An unusual timber platform and two roundwood stake-built structures, dated by dendrochronology to shortly after AD 472, were found within a small channel on the edge of a sand bank in a backwater fen area. A series of ditches on the higher ground to the west of the structures were also tentatively dated to the Early Saxon period. The timber structures were probably short-lived as the site became inundated, leading to the wooden structures and ditches being buried beneath thick alluvial clay. The Early Saxon wooden platform is the first of its kind to be excavated, recorded and dated in England and the article discusses its possible function, placing it into its temporal and spatial context.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
