Abstract:		 Between April and May 2008 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a programme of monitoring and recording during a geotechnical survey in the St James area of Dover Kent. The investigation was commissioned in advance of re-development of the site. 41 geotechnical interventions, along with data from previous archaeological work, were assessed in order to further characterise the sub-surface (geo)archaeological sequence. Correlation of lithological data into key stratigraphic units has allowed the creation of a preliminary deposit model for the site which demonstrates that significant topographical and sedimentary variation is present underlying the development area. The estuarine deposits have generally remained waterlogged and should be considered of palaeo-environmental interest, Potential for preservation of organic material is high, and may include the remains of wooden structures given the development lies on the site of the silted up Roman Harbour. The development is also adjacent to the site of the Dover Bronze Age boat. Overlying that natural sequence is a significant thickness of up to 4m of well-preserved, stratified, medieval and post-medieval archaeology. These deposits are generally sealed beneath a thin layer of modern madeground. Well-preserved archaeological remains in the form of stone, chalk and brick built structures with associated deposits, have been previously identified Overall the potential of the site to preserve stratified multi-period archaeological remains is considered high. It is likely that the development will impact on archaeological and waterlogged deposits that underlie the site that will require mitigation through design or excavation.
