Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Oxford Archaeological Unit undertook a two-stage evaluation in 1995 on land at the former Esso oil depot immediately south of the Purfleet Bypass, Purfleet, Thurrock. The work formed part of a programme of archaeological investigation along the line of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL). An introductory section to the paper mentions the particular difficulties of assessing areas of Palaeolithic archaeology. The geological and archaeological background to the area are set out, and the thirteen principal aims for the evaluation are listed. The methods employed for a borehole investigation and a test pit investigation are then described. The results are summarised and the earlier Palaeolithic flint assemblage recovered is described and discussed. A concluding section includes discussion of the significance of the deposits identified. The CTRL corridor is an area that forms an integral part of a complex of national importance for its Pleistocene and Palaeolithic interest. Whilst actual in situ Palaeolithic remains have not been identified here or elsewhere within the deposits at Purfleet, the freshness of the flintwork recovered and the presence of potentially suitable sedimentary contexts leaves this as a possibility.
