Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology in January 2008 at Horns Cross, Stone, Dartford. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of six test trenches . Natural Pleistocene gravel deposits were identified at between 35.31mOD and 36.27mOD. Within Trench 1 a pit and linear ditch, both dated as late prehistoric from recovered worked flints, were found cutting into the natural Pleistocene gravels. Under the coordination of a Palaeolithic expert the natural Pleistocene gravels and sands were machine excavated in spits of up to 250mm and 100 litre samples taken at selected depths. The samples were sieved on site for the recovery of archaeological remains. This analysis of the Pleistocene deposits produced a single flint flake, from a context interpreted as a reworked Pleistocene terrace deposit. |
