Abstract: |
Following the recommendations of GLAAS, three evaluation trenches were excavated on the site and the results have helped to refine the initial assessment of its archaeological potential. Of the three trenches excavated, one reached the level of the natural gravels, with the remaining two excavated partly into the alluvial deposits. This overlying alluvial sequence had a thickness of between 1.10m to 1.15m, as revealed. The dominance of alluvial sediments within the trenches indicates an environment that has been subjected to numerous episodes of seasonal flooding over a long period. Features of archaeological significance discovered included timber revetting to contain an earlier course of the City Mill River and possible land surfaces. The sequences of archaeological interest were then sealed by 19th-20th century made ground or landfill deposits. |
