Abstract: |
Following the results of the geoarchaeological deposit modelling, a programme of environmental archaeological assessment was undertaken on one borehole sequence from the site. The sequence recorded here is similar to that at Bramcote green immediately to the west. Radiocarbon dating indicates that a sequence of calcareous and organic deposits accumulated during the Lateglacial Interstadial, during which type sedge fen or reed swamp and aquatic conditions were present. This was followed by a sequence of Holocene alluvial sedimentation. The peat deposits at the site date to the Late Mesolithic through to the Early Bronze Age, and are indicative of alder carr on the floodplain with mixed deciduous woodland on the surrounding dryland. Further analysis of the sequence is recommended, as well as archaeological evaluation of the site. |
