Abstract:
University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) was commissioned to undertake archaeological excavations in advance of a proposed new campus development at Banbury Street in Birmingham (centred on NGR SP0768 8698). The work was commissioned by ARUP on behalf of Birmingham City University (BCU) and was undertaken between September and November 2008. This site has produced significant results including information on the environment for the Late Upper Palaeolithic to Early Mesolithic. This includes evidence for human activity and possibly manipulation of the local environment. The survival of the organic clays on this site suggests that even where later development within Birmingham City has truncated areas to some depth, significant environmental data might still be preserved. Such data is invaluable in allowing insights into the prehistoric environment and the impact of human communities upon them. It is possible therefore that evidence of this nature may survive elsewhere within the city centre.
