Abstract: |
This report describes the results of the National Archaeological Identification Survey Pilot Project: West Wiltshire (A350 corridor), which comprised interpretation and mapping of air photographs and lidar, analytical field survey, geophysical survey, excavation and palaeoenvironmental study. The project (Fig 1) covered an area of 199 sq km in west Wiltshire between Chippenham and Trowbridge, centred on the Avon valley and the A350 road corridor. Wiltshire is often regarded as a county of chalk downland but the project area has a varied geology typical of the Avon Vales and Cotswolds National Character Areas. The relative lack of previous investigation compared to the adjacent North Wessex Downs and Cotswolds, combined with potential development around the major towns and the impact of arable agriculture, were factors in the selection of the project area. |
