Archaeological findings in the south range of Exeter Cathedral cloisters, 2013
Bibliographic record
Abstract
During building work archaeological recording was carried out through two small trench excavations and stnading building recording including access to newly exposed areas where modern partitions and boarding were removed. Report details all findings and includes an appendix of documentary research. "Observations were made when building work was undertaken in the south cloister range of Exeter Cathedral. One medieval buttress foundation was exposed, allowing a reconstruction of the layout of the bays of the 15th-century south cloister walk to be confirmed. The serge market built on the site in 1657 replicated the bay rhythm of the medieval walk; one of its posts was found to sit on the buttress foundation. New evidence for the character of the market was found, including the construction and layout of its upper floor, its paving, and the form of its frontage where some high-quality carpentry detail was exposed. The main beams were of pine - a significant early use of this wood. The sequence of alterations to the market is now much better understood. On the first floor, the eastern bay was evidently separated from the adjacent rooms soon after the market was built; fragments of a late 17th- or early 18th-century timber-framed partition mark the division. More radical changes are attributable to remodelling in 1796-7, when a grand new stair well was installed within the market building to serve the rebuilt Second Canon's House, which backed on to the south enclosure wall of the cloister. Evidence for a previously unknown secondary staircase of this date was found, and the date and form of the walls around the main staircase were established. Appendices present a detailed account of the documentary evidence relating to the south cloister walk and Church House, and newly discovered photographic evidence relating to this group of buildings."

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.
