Abstract:
Three geoarchaeological boreholes were put down across the site. The resultant sequences were combined with historical borehole records to produce a deposit model for the site. The deposit model revealed a sequence of Late Glacial Shepperton Gravel, overlain by early-middle Holocene Lower Alluvium. Towards the south of the site, the Lower Alluvium appears to have been truncated by either a palaeochannel or tree-throw hollow. This depression was infilled by wood Peat. Upper Alluvium covered both the Peat and Lower Alluvial deposits. Made Ground capped the sequence. The Peat was radiocarbon dated from the late Mesolithic to late Bronze Age period. Pollen analysis revealed three key vegetation changes: (1) a late Mesolithic expansion of pine; (2) an early Neolithic decline in elm, and (3) a Bronze Age decline in wetland and dryland woodland
