Abstract: |
An archaeological sieving exercise was carried out on the site between 11th and 16th May 2011. Previously a trench was cut by the developer through the site. The trench measured roughly 9.0m in length, 2.5m wide and up to 3.15m deep. An archaeologist examined the trench after completion and identified a number of archaeological finds of Roman and medieval date within the spoil heap. Given the presence of settlement and a cemetery of Roman date at Trinity Street, directly to the north of the site, it was possible that remains of a similar nature might be present at Dickens Square. The London Borough of Southwark therefore requested that the spoil arising from the investigation be sieved and metal detected. Once this was done, the material was placed back in the hole. A number of finds were recovered from the work, the majority of which date to the post-medieval period. Only one human bone was recovered, and a small amount of Roman pottery and CBM. |
