Abstract:		 The report documents the results of an archaeological excavation undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) on land formerly occupied by Tylers, Brent Way, Dartford, Kent. The excavation followed on from an archaeological evaluation which had identified Bronze Age postholes, pits and occupation layers. The archaeological investigations found that the earliest deposit on site was Seaford and Newhaven formation chalk bedrock, overlain by Thanet Beds. A brickearth layer was present in the central part of the site and variations in the natural geology suggested a valley occupied this part of the site. A large assemblage of prehistoric struck flint was collected during the archaeological investigations and indicates prehistoric activity occurring over a long period of time. A colluvial layer produced evidence of early activity on or near to the site, activity which commenced during the Mesolithic and continued into the Early Bronze Age. The early prehistoric activity most likely reflects transient hunter-gatherer groups occasionally visiting the site. The later prehistoric periods, specifically the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age, represented the main phase of activity on site and the lithic assemblages suggest that later prehistoric settlement and agricultural activity occurred near to the site. A number of pits broadly attributed to the Late Iron Age-Romano-British period, a Saxon pit, a number of undated pits and a colluvial deposit represented later activity on site, with the general absence suggesting that the site was only occasionally used from the end of the prehistoric period, through to the modern era.
