Abstract: |
Following an archaeological and geoarchaeological evaluation at the St Anselm's Church, Dartford, a watching brief was held during the construction phase of a new extension. The most significant result of the evaluation was the identification of fluvial sands relating to the Boyn Hill terrace, a deposit with proven Palaeolithic potential. The watching brief was carried out on behalf of Scott Wilson Group Ltd between the 16th - 19th of February 2009. The excavation of strip footings and foundation pads was monitored. No significant archaeological features or finds were found and no further fluvial deposits relating to the Boyn Hill terrace were identified. However, significant numbers of tertiary Bullhead flint pebbles within a postulated subsoil indicated the possibility of a nearby exposure of fluvial deposits. |
