Abstract: |
A resistivity survey was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development, where medieval earthworks representing possible house platforms and ridge and furrow were believed to have been present. The survey revealed that the site was divided by a low resistance/high resistance boundary, which corresponded to a slope separating the site into an upper and a lower terrace. This slope may have represented a landscape feature, but its location and orientation may have been determined by previous boundary divisions or earthwork features. Ridge and furrow anomalies could be observed in the lower terrace as resistive highs, which had been cut by two curvi-linear anomalies of probable anthropogenic origin. The upper terrace had a much higher resistive response than the lower, indicating that it was probably much more compacted, and may therefore have been artificial. A possible cut of anthropogenic origin was also observed in this terrace. [Au(adp)] |
