Abstract: |
The aims of the project were to provide a predictive model of the location of waterlogged deposits in Nantwich, to understand the parameters of their formation and their preservation, and to assess their vulnerability. From this model a strategy for promoting the preservation of waterlogged deposits in Nantwich was to be developed, and the resultant strategy was to be promoted so that regional and national best practice could be informed to assist with the preservation of urban waterlogged deposits at other locations (e.g. York, Droitwich, Boston). In April 2007 Cheshire County Council, with funding from English Heritage, comissioned SLR Consulting to undertake a programme of works including desktop study, a campaign of field coring, and preparation of a management strategy. The SLR team has included archaeologists, geologists, hydrogeologists, and GIS specialists, and the present desktop study report represents the completion of the first stage of works. The town of Nantwich in Cheshire contains archaeological deposits of national importance. The Nantwich Waterlogged Deposits Project was commissioned by English Heritage to assess these deposits and to produce a management strategy to address their long term preservation. |
