Abstract: |
Nine geotechnical borehole cores taken from alongside the A38 trunk road were assessed for geoarchaeological indicators. No alluvial sediments, or deposits containing palaeoenvironmental information were observed. Assessment of the topographic location of the cores and comparison with other studies indicates that this section of the A38 is mostly located over Pleistocene epoch deposits which have no potential for palaeoenvironmental deposits relating to Mesolithic and later archaeological deposits. However a potential for Pleistocene epoch deposits does exist. |
