Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Springfield Properties Ltd to undertake a Monitored Archaeological Topsoil Strip and excavation on eleven 'hotspot areas' of known archaeological remains. The works were undertaken ahead of residential development on land at Bertha Park, Perth, Perth and Kinross. The archaeological material was first identified during a programme of large scale archaeological evaluation works undertaken by AOC Archaeology in 2013 and 2014. In total seven of the 'hotspot areas' were found to contain further substantial archaeological remains. These features were recorded, representing a range of prehistoric and post medieval settlement evidence including three three post built roundhouses, a rectangular post built structure and several linear ditches of post medieval date. Artefactual evidence included undecorated ceramic material, and coarse and chipped stone.. The archaeological material archaeology appears to be directly related to the topography of the site with the archaeology predominantly located on the higher, south facing, free draining sands and gravels. A suitable programme of mitigation will be required to be formalised with PKHT including a programme of post-excavation and publication. |
