Abstract: |
Between 28th and 29th April 2010 an archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken at the Eurodix Depot site, Fengate nr. Peterborough on behalf of DTZ Ltd. The digging of two soakaway trenches allowed the examination of potential archaeological deposits. In both trenches layers of peat and buried soil were identified beneath modern clay levelling and hardcore, whilst in the soakaway excavation just north of the Racecourse Drain an archaeological feature was examined. This E-W ditch, perhaps part of a similarly aligned Iron Age - Early Roman field system identified just to the north of here, produced several sherds of Middle-Late Iron Age Scored Ware pottery, plus a useful environmental record from waterlogged deposits in its base. The plant remains included a wide array of arable weed seeds, chaff from crop processing waste, and some charred cereal grain including spelt wheat and barley |
