Abstract: |
The auger survey demonstrated a complex sequence of post-glacial deposits above Mercia Mudstone bedrock and patchy boulder clays and identified several locations with significant potential for elucidating the local Holocene environment. Good molluscan preservation was noted in a number of boreholes, while highly organic deposits suitable for pollen and organic macrofossil preservation were also well represented. Extensive colluvial deposits mantled the slopes of the basin. These may have related in large part to agricultural activity on the higher and drier ground adjacent to the wetland basin, which occupied most of the survey area. The potential importance of these slightly elevated areas as foci for settlement was best demonstrated by the extensive scatters of Romano-British pottery which had been recorded either side of the Fosse Way to the south-west of Margidunum.
