Abstract: |
The evaluation was undertaken as part of a larger programme of investigations along the route of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. The evaluation demonstrated that artefactual material of Neolithic date, in association with well preserved organic remains, existed within the valley bottom. Artefactual material of Neolithic and Bronze Age date was also recovered from colluvial deposits along the margins of the valley bottom. The wall-footings of a series of Roman buildings, the Northfleet Roman Villa, were recorded in trenches left open following previous archaeological investigations. In addition, pits and ditches of Roman date were excavated in the vicinity of the buildings. Well-preserved environmental remains were retrieved from a number of these features and organic deposits of Roman date were also recorded. Saxon pottery recovered from colluvial deposits close to the villa indicated the possibility of a Saxon phase of occupation. [Au(abr)] |
