Abstract: |
Three boreholes and two trial trenches were excavated to examine past human use of the area and its palaeoenvironmental development. The sequence observed conforms to the generalised stratigraphic sequence found elsewhere in the area. Flint gravel is overlain by tufa, and then silts, with tarmac and fill on top. These show substantial human utilisation and an important palaeoenvironmental record on the site. The tufa and silt sequences offer high resolution palaeoenvironmental data relating to three discrete periods; the earlier Holocene, the earlier Roman and the medieval. The tufa is likely to record periods that may be associated elsewhere on the site with human activity during the earlier and middle Holocene, and so is of great importance in the Dover area. [AIP] |
