| Abstract: |
A geoarchaeological evaluation, was undertaken prior to development of the site. The investigation of the site confirmed the presence of (interglacial) fossil deposits at the site. All units present in the boreholes could be correlated with units found elsewhere in Trafalgar Square and may provide important palaeoenvironmental information. The sediments were, however, of limited archaeological significance due to the general absence of artefacts in deposits of known last interglacial age. Archaeological importance could only be ascribed to the uppermost units at the site. These deposits could be expected to produce artefacts, possibly with Levallois influences however, none were recovered during the site investigation. The Bedded Sands and Lower Clay-Silts contained important palaeoenvironmental remains. [Au(abr)] |
