Abstract:		 A geoarchaeological watching brief was carried out as a first stage in the archaeological evaluation of the area of proposed infrastructure works for the Community Stadium project at Falmer, East Sussex. A series of 27 geotechnical test pits were monitored close to the line of the current A27 trunk road and within part of the north eastern portion of Stanmer Park. These investigation revealed an unpromising sequence of made ground and re-deposited head deposits disturbed or emplaced during the building of the A27 dual-carriage way. However the line of the proposed works located within Stanmer Park revealed a partially disturbed dry valley sequence offering archaeological and palaeoenvironmental potential. This sequence can be expected, at least in part, to correlate with multi-phase solifluction and fluvial deposits recently investigated at Woollards Field, 1km to the south of the site. Pleistocene sediments recorded at Woollards Field offered modest potential for Palaeolithic archaeology, preserved Holocene colluvium and landsurfaces but poor preservation of palaeoenvironmental indicators.
