Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at Stephenson Street, West Ham, London Borough of Newham E16 4PT. The original methodology comprised fourteen evaluation trenches, health and safety constraints meant that two of these trenches were abandoned and two were changed to test pits. The evaluation recorded natural Lea Valley Gravel between 0.21m OD and -1.8m OD overlain by Holocene alluvial clays, gravels and sands located at 0.37m OD and 1.13m OD and ranged in thickness between 0.92m and 2.3m. Two of the trenches recorded organic peat deposits at 0.08m OD and -0.39m OD. This depositional sequence was consistent with a geoarchaeological deposit model previously undertaken for the site by QUEST and suggests that the site lies within Corcoran et al's Landscape Zone LZ1.10. No cultural archaeological remains were found in any of the trenches. |
