Abstract: |
A geoarchaeological Trial Pit was dug by machine to c.2m below ground level (BGL) in the flood plain of the River Blackwater at Sandhurst, Berkshire, to explore the nature of the geology. The weathered top of Pleistocene sands and sub angular flint gravels sub-cropped at 0.65m BGL. This unit was overlain by a heavily mottled yellowish grey sandy silt/clay alluvium. A dark brown sandy topsoil capped the sequence. The water table registered at ground surface. BGS data record the presence of Pleistocene sands and gravels at a depth of 5m BGL. |
