Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East were commissioned to undertake a watching brief at Church Land, Steyning, West Sussex. The works comprised the excavation of sheet-piled reception pits up to 4m deep. No archaeological features were encountered but a record was made of the sediments within each pit. The alluvial sediments that characterise the River Adur floodplain were shown to contain visible organic remains, wood and shells. The laminated sands and silts indicate accumulation under a possible estuarine or inlet environment and demonstrate the site has a high potential to preserve both palaeoenvironmental remains and wooden archaeological remains. |
