Abstract: |
Eight trial trenches were excavated to a cumulative length of 125m. Two burnt tree throws were investigated, however, no archaeological features or finds of archaeological significance were encountered. In conjunction with the archaeological evaluation geoarchaeological investigations, comprised of the excavation of three geoarchaeological test pits within three of the evaluation trenches. Sediments associated with a raised beach were identified, however, it was not possible to clearly identify this with the Aldingbourne raised beach or the Goodwood-Slindon raised beach. Further investigation involving purposive drilling may have allowed the stratigraphic sequence to be more closely compared with these known raised beach sequences. However, the proposed development would not impact on preservation in situ unless it was to exceed depths of 2.25m below ground level. Whilst no remains of archaeological significance were encountered, the geoarchaeological investigation provided further data for the study of raised beaches and landscape change. [Au(abr)] |
