Abstract: |
Three geoarchaeological boreholes were put down across the site. When combined with historic geotechnical records into a deposit model, a sequence of Shepperton Gravel, Alluvium and Made Ground were recorded. The topography of the Shepperton Gravel indicated the presence of a SE-NW aligned depression (possible palaeochannel). The alluvium was largely inorganic, contradicting the geotechnical records which indicated the presence of peat 'pockets'. However, a large amount of wood was recorded at the base of the alluvium towards the centre of the site (within the depression), suggestive of in situ growth. Radiocarbon dating of this wood was recommended to provide a date for the onset of alluviation. |
