Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of six trenches, each measuring 30m x 2m, and four test pits each measuring c.4m X 2m (Fig. 2). The trenches were located to provide a representative sample of the site. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid co-ordinates using Leica GPS. Overburden was stripped from the trenches by a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless grading bucket. All machining was conducted under archaeological supervision, through the alluvial deposits to a maximum depth of 1m in most of the trenches and to the top of natural substrate (between c.1.5m and 2m deep) in test pits 1, 3, and 4. A hand-auger was also used to probe the depth of the alluvial deposits in Trenches 3, 5, and 6. Records were maintained in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual. Deposits were assessed for their paleoenvironmental potential, and samples were taken in accordance with CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other Samples from Archaeological Sites. Artefacts were processed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 3: Treatment of Finds Immediately after Excavation. CA will make arrangements with The Collection, Art and Archaeology in Lincolnshire Museum for the deposition of the site archive (accession number: LCNCC: 2022.5) and, subject to agreement with the legal landowner(s), the artefact collection. A digital archive will also be prepared and deposited with the Archaeology Data Service (ADS). The archives (museum and digital) will be prepared and deposited in accordance with Lincolnshire County Council Archaeology Handbook (LCCAH 2019), Standard and guidance for the creation, compilation, transfer and deposition of archaeological archives (CIfA 2014b; updated October 2020), and the ADS Guidelines for Depositors (ADS 2021). A summary of information from this project, as set out in Appendix D, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain. In February 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of Land off Lincoln Road, Washingborough, Lincolnshire. A total of six trenches and 4 test pits were excavated. No archaeological features were identified. Alluvial deposits were recorded in all trenches and test pits. A possible palaeochannel was also identified. |
