Abstract: |
A geoarchaeological borehole survey was undertaken on behalf of Worcestershire County Council at Hoobrook, Kidderminster, Worcestershire (SO 82969 74816; WSM 67035).The presence of lateglacial sand and gravels suggests that the entire post-glacial (Holocene) sequence was recorded at the site. This was composed primarily of alluvium, which was likely to have been deposited by flood events from the River Stour. The alluvium was truncated by made-ground, which consisted primarily of post-medieval and modern material, including coal and slag, which could be waste from the operation of the nearby Falling Sands Rolling Mill. |
