Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology (TPA), part of the York Archaeological Trust, were contracted by VINCI Construction UK Ltd to undertake intermittent watching brief/archaeological investigation during the construction of the NET Phase Two trackbed and utilities installation. The archaeological evidence brought to light during the various stages of watching brief, was generally very low, both in terms of artefacts and features. The most significant results related to palaeo-environmental evidence for prehistoric landscapes along University Boulevard. Particularly for its contribution to our understanding of Bronze Age artefacts previously recovered during the construction of the University lake. A small amount of unstratified worked flint was recovered from Fairham Brook, likely dating to the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. Although no contemporary archaeological features were revealed. Generally the impact depth was insufficient to expose deposits of archaeological importance. This was particularly relevant through the more heavily developed sections such as Meadows Way. In the remaining areas, that had not seen substantial modern development, archaeological horizons were more readily observed, although the depositional character of these areas (for example flood plain deposits on University Boulevard) meant that limited human activity had taken place. |
