Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of 3 trenches and 5 geoarchaeological test pits was undertaken at Oakfield Infant's and Junior's School, Dartford, in advance of the construction of a proposed new school building. The trenches and test pits recorded a broadly similar stratigraphic sequence of deposits. The lowest deposit seen was solifluction gravels at 9.12m OD or 3.1m below ground level. Above was an alluvial sequence up to 1.6m thick. Overlying the alluvium was a collivial sequence, the lowest deposit of which contained inclusions of occasional burnt clay flecks and finds of fire-cracked flint and bone and above, Roman CBM fragments. The upper colluvium contained finds of post-medieval CBM. The colluvium was overlain by post-medieval subsoil and topsoil.No cut features or structures were identified during the evaluation. |
