Abstract: |
Six geoarchaeological boreholes were put down at the site to clarify the nature of the sub-surface stratigraphy. A sequence of Shepperton Gravel overlain by sandy Lower Alluvium (in places containing a lower organic horizon), Peat, silty Upper Alluvium and Made Ground was recorded. The surface of the Gravel was recorded at between ca. -9 and -7m OD. The Alluvial sequence overlying it was similar to that at the nearby Pirelli Works site, where the lower organic horizon (recorded at the Nufarm UK site at levels between -8 and -6.8m OD) accumulated during the Mesolithic. The main, generally woody Peat horizon, recorded at elevations between -4 and -2m OD, may be of Neolithic to Bronze Age date. |
