Abstract: |
An archaeological evaulation of the proposed construction impacts of the part of the London 2012 Olmpics Site designated Planning Delivery Zone 7. The evaluation has shown that earlier deposits of archaeological interest survive intact beneath late 19th century made ground. In the north east part of the site these comprise fragments of a dry landsurface formed in Pleistocene brickearth and forming the ground surface from the Mesolithic till post medieval period. In this area, however, truncation by quarry pitting is widespread. In the south and west a mosaic of alluvial, wetland and fluvial deposits exists, which spans the Mesolithic to post medieval period and has very good potential for past landscape reconstruction. Such reconstruction would provide a context in which to place and better understand the archaeological evidence from the site itself and from further afield. Features of archaeological interest observed within or cutting these deposits included wooden stakes, concentrations of daub, a trackway, landsurfaces, laid surfaces, brickearth quarry pits, ditches and channels. |
