Abstract: |
Full analysis of environmental remains from an archaeological evaluation at land to the north of Brays Road, Sheldon Heath Birmingham (NGR SP 1504 8516) was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting and on behalf of their client as part of an agreed programme of mitigation works. The sequence recovered from Sheldon Heath can be divided into two phases, separated by an unconformity, with an unknown period of time and period of erosion occurring prior to the deposition of the upper. The likely explanation is a change in the hydrology with the local watercourse migrating and eroding earlier deposits. The basal deposit indicates a typical hydroseral succession was occuring in the late Mesolithic. |
