Abstract: |
The aims of this project as defined in the approved WSI (Shlasko 2020) were: • To establish the date, nature and extent of activity or occupation within the development area • To establish the relationship of any remains found to the surrounding contemporary landscape • To recover palaeo-environmental remains to determine local environmental conditions.This is the first part of a staged investigation whereby the results of this stage will be assessed to determine the need and extent of further stages of archaeological investigation. The methods used were as follows: • An archaeological field evaluation of the site consisting of one 25 X 2m trench located within the footprint of the proposed access road, including a contingency of 15 sq. m. One 25m long trench was excavated prior to the construction of two dwellings and the upgrading of an existing access road. Archaeological investigations in Upper Caldecote have shown significant evidence of occupation since the Bronze Age and in Saxon times. However, no archaeological finds or features were revealed within the excavated trench. Only post-medieval and modern features like rubbish pits and stake holes from possible former farm activity were recorded. |
