Abstract: |
The pre-determination evaluation comprised four trial pits, two on an area of hardstanding to the east and south of a warehouse in 1-7 Snowfields and two in the Bermondsey Street site in the open yard area in the western half of the site. All four trial pits were specifically designated for archaeological investigation with provision to remove 'low grade layer' after recording with a view to augering from the top of the alluvial deposit. The results of the field evaluation have helped to refine the initial assessment of the archaeological potential of the site. Natural gravels were located in all trial trenches overlain by channel silts and in two of the trenches, on the Snowsfield site, evidence for the Mesolithic horizon was identified in the auger holes. Above this horizon alluvial silts were seen, sealed by late post-medieval dumps and the remnants of late 18th/early 19th century century houses and a backfilled basement pertaining to the wool warehouseon the Bermondsey site |
