Abstract: |
An archaeological borehole survey was undertaken at land adjacent to Sedgefield Walk, Catshill, Bromsgrove (NGR SO 9661 7419; HER ref WSM 66264on behalf of Fiona McIntosh, Senior Water Management Officer, North Worcestershire Water Management,). A total of eight windowless bores were sunk along a transect of the widest part of the site. Drilling was undertaken by Spectral Ltd and the cores were wrapped and labelled on site by Worcestershire Archaeology staff. Geoarchaeological analysis of the cores was undertaken by Andy Howard of Landscape Research and Management Limited. Analysis of the cores showed that there was no Palaeolithic potential within the deposits in the study location. No organic-rich sediment was encountered in any of the boreholes that might indicate palaeoenvironmental potential. Furthermore, no artefactual (lithic) materials were recovered from the sediments that might indicate the presence of humans in this immediate area. |
