Abstract:
Geoarchaeological monitoring and a programme of deposit modelling was carried out in order to clarify the nature of the sub-surface stratigraphy and to evaluate the potential of the sedimentary sequences for reconstructing the environmental history of the site and its environs. The site lies on the Kempton Park Terrace (Gibbard, 1994), where no alluvial floodplain is recorded. The results of the geoarchaeological deposit modelling are consistent with the existing BGS mapping, and confirm that the site is underlain by London Clay, the surface of which appears to fall eastwards and lies at between -0.45 and -0.41m OD, in turn overlain by the Kempton Park Gravel, deposit during the Middle to Late Devensian (30 to 80ka BP). The surface of this unit rises eastwards, recorded at between 0.50 and 3.95m OD, so that the gravel is thickest in the eastern part of the site (between 4.3 and 4.4m). The Gravel is notably thinner in the eastern part of the site, recorded at between 0.4 and 0.9m thick. No evidence was found for a unit of Langley Silt at the site (mapped elsewhere overlying the Kempton Park Gravel). Variable thicknesses of Made Ground cap the sequence, so that the modern surface of the site lies at between ca. 4.7 and 5.7m OD. No further investigations were recommended.
