Abstract: |
The Northern Access forms part of a wider scheme which is being constructed to serve the wider North London Heat and Power Project. The results indicate that there is a low potential for significant archaeological remains to survive along the Northern Access area. The monitoring of the trial pits indicate that significant truncation of the Site has previously occurred down to the alluvial sequence. The observed stratigraphic sequences observed in the fifteen trial pits are similar to the sequences observed during previous archaeological monitoring and recording of groundworks at the Edmonton EcoPark Laydown Area East earlier in 2019. Artefacts recovered in-situ from the alluvium exposed during the archaeological monitoring were all likely deposited during the Post-medieval to Modern period. The pottery assemblage recorded from the trial pits at the Northern Access Site indicate that alluvial deposits at this location have a very low potential for containing significant palaeoenvironmental remains. The Desk-Based Geoarchaeological Deposit Model produced for the Site has revealed a sequence of Late Devensian Lea Valley Gravel, overlain by Holocene alluvial sediments (including a localised peat deposit), capped by modern Made Ground. The results indicate that there is a low potential for significant archaeological remains to survive along the Northern Access Area. The monitoring of the trial pits indicate that significant truncation of the Site has previously occurred down to the alluvial sequence. |
