Abstract: |
NAU Archaeology carried out an archaeological window sample excavation to the rear of 63 High Street, Lowestoft, a substantial Georgian townhouse within the historic core of the town. The scope of the investigations was limited by the topography and other factors. On the uppermost terrace adjacent to the house window sampling revealed that dense 'natural' boulder clay deposits lay below topsoil and associated deposits at a depth of 0.7m to 0.9m, with glacial sands underlying the boulder clay at a depth of a little under 4.0m. Test pits on the lower terrace were recorded. Glacial sands were seen below topsoil and similar layers at an average depth of 1.0m. No obvious evidence of buried archaeological features was seen. A few sherds of pottery dated to the post-medieval period were found in topsoil recovered by window sampling. |
