Abstract: |
A programme of geoarchaeological and palaeoenvironmental investigation. Three new geoarchaeological boreholes were put down at the site, the stratigraphic data from which were combined with existing geotechnical records to produce a deposit model of the major depositional units across the site. Up to 3.5m of organic-rich alluvium was identified, overlying a Wandle / Shepperton Gravel surface which lay between -0.8 and -0.12m OD. Radiocarbon dating of the sequences indicate that accumulation of the organic-rich alluvium took place during the medieval and post-medieval periods. The results of the assessment have also indicated that the concentration and preservation of pollen, waterlogged wood and insects is high, and contains definitive evidence of historic human activity. |
