Abstract: |
In February 2011 an archaeological watching brief monitored the excavation of geotechnical survey test pits and boreholes at the site of the former Bristol Magistrates Court in central Bristol. Site monitoring took place in late February/early March 2011. This involved an archaeological watching brief during the mechanical excavation of 4 trial pits and the drilling/coring of 2 boreholes and 3 window samples at specific locations across the site. These mostly revealed, not unexpectedly, varying depths of blitz, demolition and construction-related disturbance. However, in three locations layers of stratified archaeological deposits, in the form of buried garden soils and a single layer of peaty clay, are present. |
