Abstract: |
Four boreholes were drilled and continuous samples of the sub-surface stratigraphy taken across the site for a geoarchaeological evaluation of the site of the proposed Millenium Wheel at Jubilee Gardens. A detailed review of palaeo-environmental depositional conditions was achieved due the classic sequence of gravels overlain by sands and silts which in turn were capped by silty clays and organics,. Archaeology, in terms of evidence of human activity, was limited and not easy to interpret. Although the OD levels of the organic silty clays suggested that they relate to the Roman period, the forthcoming Carbon 14 dates for these more specific information has yet to be achieved, which would significantly enhance the palaeo-environmental data.
