Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology (CAA), Institute of Archaeology (IoA), University College London (UCL) were commissioned by Kier Southern Limited to undertake a geoarchaeological assessment and subequent watching brief on land fringing existing buildings at Maypole Primary School, Dartford, Kent. (NGR: TQ 51218 72464; Figure 1). Three geoarchaeololgical test pits were excavated. In addition construction works comprising site reduction and excavation of footings was subject to geoarchaeological monitoring. In each a Pleistocene sedimentary sequence was recorded, but no artefacts or ecofacts were recovered. The sequence has been partially correlated with that observed during previous investigations carried out in 2000 and 2002, prior to the construction of the school. It is apparent that during the construction process the area around the school has been truncated by c. 1m. It is likely that within the truncated area (which relates to an artificial terrace in the immediate vicinity of the school buildings) there is greatly reduced or no potential for archaeology, in the form of further preserved lithics. However, any development occurring outside of the truncated area (such as the playing field) should be considered of equal potential to that observed prior to the construction of the school.
