Abstract: |
Further to 2014 trial trench evaluation on this site, and following borehole monitoring undertaken by Southampton archaeological unit in 2014, further geoarchaeological investigation was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology in 2016 comprising borehole monitoring and deposit modelling.This confirmed the extent of natural Brickearth in the north-west corner of the Site, where Anglo-Saxon and pre-modern activity was focussed, and provided further information on the mill pond deposits. Models produced of the surface of the Tidal Flat deposits (TFD) and the underlying River Terrace deposits (RTD) indicate the general area of the former shoreline prior to reclamation of the foreshore to form the present day river edge / quayside, which lies approximately 150m to the east. Examination of the deposit records also showed the location of one or more layers of peat, noted in 2014, extending along approximately 125m of the north-east boundary of the site, adjacent to the River Itchen. This peat was recorded at depths of between -2.5m OD and -8m OD, and is thought most likely to have formed in the earlier part of the prehistoric period. A Mesolithic to Neolithic date range can be provisionally suggested, though the sequence currently remains undated. |
