Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigations comprising monitoring of geotechnical pits, archaeological trial trenching evaluation and subsequent excavation and watching brief was undertaken 10-26 November 2015 and 8-17 February 2016 by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at the site of the former Liquid and Envy Nightclub and John Dobson House, New Bridge Street West, Newcastle upon Tyne. Archaeological deposits and features encountered at the site have been assigned to five phases of activity. Natural sub-stratum (Phase 1) was encountered across the investigated areas. Phase 2 relates to medieval activity at the site comprising a medieval plough soil, recorded within Trenches 1 and 3 and a posthole and two ditches in Trench 3 likely to be associated with medieval field systems Features and structures associated with the development of the site during the 17th to 19th centuries were assigned to Phase 3 activity. One of the medieval field boundary ditches in Trench 3 also appears to have been recut in this period. Activity associated with the construction and use of John Dobson's House in the 19th century, including the development of a garden landscape incorporating a stables and workshop within a yard area, identified within Trenches 1 and 3 and Trial Pits 21, 27 and 25. Phase 4 relates to activity in the early part of the 20th century associated with the development of the Oxford Galleries building in the 1920s. This mainly comprised structural activity such as the construction of foundations for the new building. Phase 5 relates to modern activity such as demolition of buildings on the site and levelling in the site area. |
