Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a Geoarchaeological Borehole Survey carried out by Archaeology South-East at Land to The North Side of Royal Eagle Close at the Junction with Anthonys Way, Medway City Estate, Rochester, Kent, on 14/11/20 and the subsequent recording of samples in the ASE lab. Based on this geoarchaeological work and the previous site investigation work c.20m of Quaternary deposits have been seen to be present on the site overlying the chalk bedrock at depth. The Geoarchaeological Borehole Survey showed there to be a complicated sequences of alluvial and peat deposits overlaying the gravels at the site. There were a total of three distinct peat units and several different alluvial units, some showing clear structure or abundant shell remains. U100 core samples have been taken of 6m of these deposits, representing the entire alluvial and peat sequence encountered on the site. This sequence possibly spans much of the Holocene and the samples will likely contain palaeoenvironmental indicators that can enable better understanding of environmental change in the region during the Holocene. |
