Abstract: |
The work associated with this project was carried out by staff from HFA, in accordance with the written scheme of investigation for archaeological evaluation by trial excavation produced by HFA, (Atkinson, D. May 2021), and with reference to the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists 2014 (a) Standard and Guidance for archaeological field evaluation and (b) Standard and Guidance for archaeological excavation.
The scheme of works comprised the excavation of seven trenches, 30m long by 2m wide which were excavated across the site in the positions agreed with HHER (see Fig 2).
Standard Humber Field Archaeology recording procedures were used throughout; each identified feature was allocated a context number, with written descriptions recorded on pro forma sheets. Plans and sections were drawn to scale on pre-printed permatrace sheets. A digital photographic record was maintained. The locations of the trenches and the level of the features were surveyed relative to the Ordnance Survey National Grid and Ordnance Datum respectively, using survey-grade GPS equipment. A small percentage (approximate 3%) of the spoil generated from the excavation of the trenches was sieved by hand to see if there were any artefacts contained in the topsoil horizon which would help to provide any background information about the area. In the event, no artefacts were recovered during this portion of the work. Overall, no artefacts were retained during this programme of work, although a copy of the report in .pdf format will be sent to the appropriate repository, in this case the East Riding of Yorkshire Museums Service. The paper archive will be remain with HFA. In April 2020 a programme of archaeological evaluation by trial excavation was undertaken by Humber Field Archaeology in in support of the proposals for the Phase 9 extension to the Phase 5 building (area 3) and an additional area (area 4) to the south at the Dianthus Business Park, Common Lane, Newport, East Riding of Yorkshire.
Seven trenches were excavated. Five of the trenches (1, 2, 5, 6 and 7) contained no archaeological features, and only contained the remnants of disused ceramic land drainage schemes. Trenches 3 and 4 demonstrated the remains of a former 19th century field boundary which can be seen on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map of this area from 1855. This ditch was likely filled in to create a larger arable field after 1966, as the boundary appears on maps from that period, but not subsequently. |
