Abstract:
Archaeology South-East were commissioned by Carillon to undertake an archaeological and geoarchaeological evaluation at Longfield Academy, Kent in advance of redevelopment. The fieldwork took place on the 9th and 10th of July 2009. The archaeological and geoarchaeological evaluation revealed that the site has been extensively affected by 19th/20th century gravel quarrying and levelling relating to the construction of the playing fields which appear to have removed any potential archaeological deposits, and no archaeological features or deposits were encountered in the evaluation. In some areas there was localised preservation of truncated colluvial deposits with some potential for the limited archaeological preservation of ex situ artefacts. Geoarchaeological evaluation revealed a c. 3m deep Pleistocene sequence consisting of solifluction gravels, fluvial beds and Brickearth deposits. This most probably relates to processes associated with the last glaciation. No artefacts or ecofacts were encountered within the Pleistocene sediments, though the potential for localised artefact survival cannot be ruled out altogether.
