Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a field based geoarchaeological assessment at Gumley Road, Grays carried out on 25th June 2013. The work was carried out in accordance with the methodology submitted on 21st June by Dr Simon Lewis. Supervision and recording of the excavation of the trial pit was carried out by a member of AS staff. The assessment had two objectives: 1) to establish whether the geoarchaeologically important deposits in the Lion Pit Tramway Cutting extend beneath the site at Gumley Road at depth and 2) to investigate the geoarchaeological and palaeoenvironmental potential of sands above the gravel deposits. The first objective was addressed by sinking a borehole at the northern end of the site, the second objective was addressed by excavating a trial pit in a location where sands were thought to be present. The trial pit location was also constrained by the planned development and the need to avoid compromising the foundations of both existing and planned structures. |
