Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during the construction of an 8-storey student residential development on land at the junction of Ruston Way and Tritton Road in the city of Lincoln. The site lies outside the historic city, within the flood plain of the River Witham in an area that is believed to have been wetland until the early 19th century. However, archaeological investigations in its vicinity identified a sand 'island' below the wetland deposits that appears to have been occupied during the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, indicating that remains of prehistoric activity may also be present on this site. After being drained and reclaimed, the site and the land in its neighbourhood were probably cultivated, before being taken over by industrial and railway development in the later 19th century. No archaeological features were observed during the course of this monitoring project. |
