Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd conducted a trial-trench archaeological evaluation and programme of test-pitting on land at Stopsley High School, Luton, in response to a condition placed on planning consent for the erection of a new school. The trial-trenching uncovered two undated ditches, an undated post-hole, and a post-medieval field boundary. The testpitting recorded sediments comprising flinty clay plateau drift resting on Chalk bedrock and overlain by topsoil or made ground. Sediments containing in situ or reworked archaeological materials similar to those recorded at Lower Palaeolithic archaeological localities surrounding the development site were not found and no lithic artefacts were recovered. These results indicate that deposits containing or having the potential to contain Palaeolithic artefacts and other materials are not present. |
