Abstract:
Geoarchaeological investigations were carried out on the 16th and 17th July 2014 at the site of the proposed Acton diveunder in the form of seven geoarchaeological trial pits put down to formation (the level of the diveunder surface) or the surface of the London Clay bedrock. The Trial Pits were put down along the part of the route of the diveunder identified as of geoarchaeological potential in the written scheme of investigation for the site (Young and Green, 2014). In general, the results of the investigations were found to be consistent with those of the previous geotechnical borehole investigations. The London Clay surface was recorded in five of the Trial Pits (TP1 to TP5), where it was recorded generally increasing in depth from east (24.8m OD in TP1; 24.9m OD in TP2) to west (23.3m OD in TP4; 23.9m OD in TP5). The thickness of the Gravel generally increased in thickness from east to west, recorded as 1.9 (TP1), 1.9 (TP2), 2.5 (TP3), 3.55 (TP4) and 2.5m thick (TP5). In none of the Trial Pits was there any indication of finer-grained material (silt or clay) that might contain biological remains such as Mollusca, bone or small vertebrates. A programme of sieving from selected Trial Pits did not yield any lithic artefacts, nor was any observed during the recording of the Trial Pits. No further geoarchaeological investigations are recommended in the area of the proposed excavations associated with the route of the Acton diveunder.
