Abstract:		 Archaeological Research Services Ltd. (ARS Ltd) was commissioned by AECOM Infrastructure and Environment UK Ltd to undertake a geoarchaeological assessment on behalf of Highways England at the A38 Little Eaton Derby Junctions. The assessment comprised the undertaking of a borehole survey and the interpretation of the soil profiles retrieved from ten geoarchaeological boreholes to assess the nature and stratigraphy of buried sediments and the potential for buried archaeological remains. This survey forms part of a phased programme of archaeological works undertaken by ARS Ltd, including geophysical survey and evaluation trenching at the Little Eaton Junction, Derby. Geoarchaeological boreholes samples were collected from ten locations spread across the proposed development area. All ten boreholes were successfully sampled to a depth of between three and four metres. The sampled sediments consisted of alluvial clay and sand deposits overlain by modern topsoil. Gravel deposits were encountered between 48.56 m aOD and 45.91 m aOD. In those samples taken from a depth of 4m soil retention was often poor in the lowest metre of the sample due to very wet ground conditions. Archaeological material was recovered from boreholes 2 and 4 in the form of coarse-grained ceramic material, possibly brick. All other cores were archaeologically sterile. No waterlogged or preserved organic deposits were encountered. Coal was present in several core samples.
