Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd were commisioned to carry out an archaeological monitoring of geotechnical investigations at 25 - 29 Harper Road, Southwark, SE1. The exercise took place between 13th and 18th July 2016 prior to the re-development of the existing former Sorting Office and former Court building into 64 residential units. The monitoring exercise comprised two geotechnical boreholes (BH 1 and 2), the results of which are to be used in preparing further archaeological strategy. Due to the nature of the exercise, observation of the archaeological deposits was limited; the earliest evidence of human activity on the site was a 1.17m thick deposit containing Roman pottery and ceramic building material in BH2, which was sealed by modern concrete. BH1 showed localised truncation down to the natural deposits. |
