Abstract: |
An auger survey was carried out in advance of the construction of a new sewer shaft. The deposit sequence comprised six distinctive horizons: Topsoil, subsoil, made ground, buried soil, a possible storm horizon and the natural geology. The buried soil horizon varied considerably between the cores suggesting considerable localised variations in post burial reworking and degradation over time and the geoarchaeological and palaeoenvironmental assessment indicates that it was likely to have formed in an open landscape dominated by damp grassland on the margin of wetland areas and coastal dune lands. It is likely to be of historic date. |
