Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken of the site prior to proposed development on the site, which was located in a priority archaeological zone as defined in the London Borough of Newham's Unitary Development Plan. The site was shown to have a low to moderate archaeological potential for the Neolithic and Bronze Age and a low archaeological potential for all other past periods of human activity. Neolithic and Bronze Age deposits on the site were likely to have been buried at a considerable depth below existing ground level. Past post depositional impacts on the site could be defined as severe. In places the upper alluvial sequence had been truncated. The proposed development consisted of two apartment blocks with associated parking and landscaping. The apartment blocks were to be built on piled foundations. Although the piles would cut through the entire stratigraphic sequence only a very small percentage of the site area would have been affected. The bulk of any archaeological deposits on the site could therefore be preserved in situ. [Au(abr)] |
