Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East (ASE), a division of University College London Field Archaeology Unit (UCLFAU), were commissioned by White Young Green Ltd., on behalf of their clients, to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Thornberry school, Freshbrook Road, Lancing in advance of the determination of a planning application. The work was carried out between 10th and 13th April 2007. A total of three machine excavated trenches and a single geoarchaeological test pit were excavated across the site. Natural gravel was encountered at a maximum height of 5.37m AOD in the southwest (Trench 3), falling away to 0.99m AOD to the northeast, where a sequence of alluvial silts associated with the Adur river was seen to cap the gravels to a height of 1.99m AOD. Two small irregular pits were identified during the trial trenching, both of which exhibited evidence of post-depositional disturbance from rooting. A small quantity of struck flint was recovered from one of these features but is not considered to be diagnostic of period. The geoarchaeological test pit succeeded in identifying a Raised Beach deposit on the site, thought to represent a continuation of the Pagham formation. This was sealed by a sequence of estuarine and fluvial silts and gravels associated with the Adur river and were in turn sealed by the topsoil of the site.
