Abstract: |
Four evaluation trenches were excavated on the site PDZ8, Works Package 1, part of the work undertaken for the London 2012 Olympic Development site. The trenches were examined to the level of the natural gravels, with these being overlain by alluvial sequences, followed by a layer of peat, sealed by further alluvial deposits. In one trench prehistoric evidence and features were observed within and cutting the lower levels of the alluvial sequence, whilst in several trenches post-medieval features were observed either within or cutting the alluvial sequence. A possible post-medieval relict land surface was also observed overlying the alluvial sequence in one trench. All the trenches were than sealed by layers of re-deposited clays or silts, overlain by 19th-20th century made ground deposits. |
