Abstract: |
Geoarchaeological monitoring of three trial pits was carried out in order (1) to clarify the nature of the sub-surface stratigraphy across the site, and (2) to evaluate the potential of the sequences to contain evidence for Palaeolithic archaeology or biological remains. No stained (manganese or humic) horizons were noted in the Lynch Hill Gravel, and no lithics of consequence were found within the sieved samples. The Langley Silt, comprised of stiff reworked London Clay, is not a promising host material for lithics, reinforced by the small size and paucity of the pebbles. No organic horizons were identified at the site. On the basis of the findings presented, no further geoarchaeological investigations were recommended. |
