Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology carried out an excavation in 2004 on land at Addington Street which uncovered an Early Holocene palaeosol on a former gravel island on the south bank of the River Thames. The palaeosol contained evidence of Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age activity, comprising worked and burnt flint, pottery and animal bone. Although bioturbation had moved some of the finds vertically through the palaeosol horizon, blurring any stratigraphic sequence, a deposit of Fengate pottery, associated with the remains of a fire and hazelnut shells, was recovered from a tree throw. The palaeosol was eroded by subsequent flooding, possibly in the Late Bronze Age, and sealed by alluvium. |
