Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted during geotechnical investigations in the St Philip's Building of the London School of Economics between 5th of January to the 17th of February 2010, in advance of the proposed re-development of the site. The investigations found evidence for natural deposits, significantly brickearth, but also including sands, and gravel mixed with either sand or clay. Layers, such as made ground or bedding horizons, and features associated with the existent St Philip's Building were observed to be overlying or cutting the natural horizons. The only potential archaeological features observed were evidence of possible earlier structures in two locations, though little could be ascertained regarding these due to the limited area exposed during works. |
