Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The construction of the new motorway links (the M4 and M49) for the Second Severn Crossing and the resultant infill and developments, which would come in their wake, provided the opportunity for a comprehensive programme of archaeological desk-based research, auger survey, building recording, excavation, and palaeo-environmental work (The Second Severn Crossing English Approaches Project). The defined area of study covered approximately 54 km², bounded respectively to the north and east by the M4 and M5 motorways, to the south by Bristol, and to the west by the Severn Estuary (GGAT 1992).The paper presented here is the third of the intended series and represents a brief synopsis of the full paper (Allen and Scaife 2009). That paper deals with a series of major environmental sequences – mostly obtained ‘off-site’ from the archaeological deposits investigated during the English Approaches Project – and represents the most systematic investigation of the middle/upper Wentlooge Formation undertaken on the English side of the estuary (certainly up to 2001 and probably since). The sequences are described and discussed individually, followed by a detailed and wide-ranging discussion of the evolution of, and human interference in, the Avon Levels. Here wedraw together the main strands of evidence and discussion to paint a brief portrait of this complex sedimentary landscape. | ||
