Abstract: |
This report presents the results of the archaeological excavation (and evaluation where appropriate) carried out by Archaeology South-East at the Thistle Hill development (Land Parcel 14), Near Minster, Sheppey, Kent during October 2009 (eval) and between June 2010 and May 2011 (excav). The fieldwork was commissioned by Bovis Homes Ltd. The excavations encountered residual (probably transient) Mesolithic/Neolithic activity together with evidence of late prehistoric activity and Medieval and Post-Medieval agriculture. The late prehistoric and Medieval evidence probably represents outlying activity related to previous discoveries in the area (Diack 2002 and Margetts 2009). The report is written and structured so as to conform to the standards required of post-excavation analysis work as set out in Management of Archaeological Projects 2 (Andrews 1991). Interim analysis of the stratigraphic, finds and environmental material has indicated a provisional chronology, and assessed the potential of the site archive to address the original research agenda, as well as assessing the significance of those findings. This has highlighted that integration of this work together with previous/future investigations on the wider Thistle Hill development is required in order to enable suitable dissemination of the findings in a final publication. |
