Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out in August 2001 by Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit in advance of proposed redevelopment of a site at Floodgate Street in Digbeth, Birmingham City Centre. The work was commissioned by Nicol Thomas Limited on behalf of Marcity Developments. A previous desk-based assessment had identified the development site as part of a zone of potential archaeological survival, and development of the site was likely to affect below-ground archaeological remains. These remains may include features and deposits dating from medieval period and remains of later settlement and industry, especially waterlogged deposits associated with the River Rea. Trial-trenching showed survival of a 17th-century waterlogged deposit in Trench 1b, at a depth of 1.6m below the modern tarmac surface. A similar deposit was revealed in Trench 3 at a depth of 1.8m below the modern tarmac surface. Sandstone blocks reused as the footings for a brick wall were uncovered in Trench 2, contemporary with a 19th-century deposit. The remainder of the recorded deposits and features consisted of 19th-century cellars, which had been backfilled in the 20th -century, and of services and their associated trenches. Despite major disturbance by cellaring, this archaeological evaluation demonstrated the survival of archaeological deposits and features.
