Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken to monitor the installation of new waste water infrastructure by 4-Delivery at two sites in Hove: Landsdowne Place and Wilbury Avenue. During the course of this watching brief the Quaternary geology of both localities was recorded and assessed for archaeological and palaeoenvironmental potential. At Lansdowne Place a sequence of Head Deposits derived from nearby Tertiary outcrops were recorded as covering a poorly preserved section of the 250kyr old Brighton-Norton raised beach. At Wilbury Avenue, Head Deposits were recorded as overlying Tertiary solid geology. A both localities decalcification and oxidisation of the sediments was comprehensive and no palaeoenvironmental indicators were recovered. Additionally no macro or micro-artefacts were recovered from the Quaternary deposits despite an exhaustive sieving programme. |
