Abstract: |
In January and early February 2011 ASC carried out a programme of archaeological works at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Park Road, Ware, Hertfordshire during the ground reduction stage related to the construction of the Stability Chamber. The stratigraphy of the site consisted of topsoil overlying made ground, alluvium and the natural geology. The design of the proposed building required minimal stripping of the site, and the made ground was not breeched. The initial stages of the piling were observed, and a test pit was excavated close to the footprint of the proposed building in an effort to better understand and record the stratigraphy and geology of the site. No archaeological cut features or deposits were observed during the course of the ground works, and no artefacts were recovered from the either the spoil from the ground reduction or the piling. |
