Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out at 20-21 Middleborough, Colchester in advance of the construction of a ground floor extension to the restaurant. The development site is located in a suburb of the Roman and medieval town close to the River Colne. The evaluation revealed modern soils (L1, 0-1.05m), post-medieval dump (L2, 1.05-1.31m), medieval/post-medieval river silts and gravels (L3-L5, 1.31m-2.24m, starting at 5.45m AOD), and Roman river silts (L6, starting at 2.24m deep, 4.5m AOD). Roman, medieval and post-medieval finds in the river silts were probably derived from centuries of dumping rubbish on the river edge. |
