Abstract: |
A geoarchaeological watching brief was undertaken at Jempson's Store, Rye, during groundworks which were being carried out in order to extend the store. Two service trenches were placed and monitored. No archaeology was found during the site work. The groundworks impacted up to 3.3m into the ground and two units of alluvial silts and clays were uncovered. A hand auger was taken down to 4.04m, through the bottom of tench 2, which contained some redeposited peat. There was no potential for palaeoenvironmental analysis. It is suggested that for any future work in the area, it would be interesting to drill deeper boreholes, in order to reach the deeper peat unit. |
