Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of geotechnical test pits across the route of the proposed Lincoln Eastern Bypass. Twenty five trial pits were observed which generally only revealed deposits of either natual (i.e. geological) or modern origin, with no positive signs of any archaeological occupation. In addition, although numerous pieces of pottery (of both Roman and medieval date) were recovered, these were all either unstratified, or from the various topsoil deposits. In contrast, the palaeoenvironmental assessment undertaken on various samples produced interesting results. Post-Glacial sediments lying beneath the route were identified, offering a very high potential for the palaeoenvironmental study of this part of the Witham Valley. Organic remains of various types (including shells, beetles, wood, ostracods, plant seeds and pollen) appeared to have been exceptionally well preserved. [Au(adp)] |
