Abstract: |
Environmental archaeological and palaeo-environmental assessment was made on the deposits and archaeological stratigraphies impacted on by engineering works at the Medway Tunnel. This revealed an extensive series of palaeo-landsurfaces dating to the last 7000 years to be heavily impacted on both banks of the Medway. These palaeo-landsurfaces contained in situ archaeology of Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age dates, through to Romano-British ages. Important flood plain sequences and exceptional stratification and preservation of organic material was recovered, giving the site a very high archaeological potential. [Au(abr)] |
