Abstract:		 Eight geotechnical test pits were dug in the basement of 67-69, Watling Street (Calico House), which were, after completion, cleaned and recorded by archaeologists. The test pits in the north of Calico House all revealed a good quality mortar floor surface, and there was a possible masonry wall in test pit G. This implied the presence of Roman masonry buildings, similer to those found on the east side of nearby Well Court. The test pits on the south implied the presence of largely open area during the Roman period. No evidence for structures or occupation were recovered from any of the southern test pits. Some of the pitting truncating the Roman dumped deposits were medieval, suggesting, rather surprisingly, that this area remained an open space into the medieval period. No evidence for the post-medieval period was recovered. The report concluded that a programme of geotechnical investigation and archaeological evaluation should be undertaken. [Au(adp)]
