Abstract:
Geoarchaeological monitoring was carried out in order to clarify the nature of subsurface stratigraphy, and to investigate the potential for reconstructing the environmental history of the site and its environs. The results of the investigations revealed that the surface of the Gravel lies at between -2.60 and 0.00m OD, and is overlain by a sequence of mineral-rich sediments that become finer upwards. In general, the Gravel surface rises northwards from -0.8 to 0.00m OD, consistent with an apex of the Horsleydown Eyot that lies just to the north of the Tower Bridge Magistrates Court site. The Gravel surface of -2.6m OD identified in borehole BH4 represents a significant depression in the Gravel surface, which may be indicative of a former channel towards the northeast of the site. The surface of the alluvial sediments lies at between -0.4 and 0.9m OD, overlain by thicknesses of between 3.0 and 4.0m of Made Ground. No peat was recorded in any of the four boreholes.
