Abstract:		 The approximate location for each of the four evaluation pits was determined by LKR Design Group prior to the evaluation. Each pit was then positioned accurately in relation to existing college buildings and other fixed points such as roadside kerbs. A mechanical excavator fitted with a lm-wide toothless ditching bucket was used to open the pits. Each pit was approximately 1 m square, and was excavated to a depth of between 650mm and 1100mm. The excavation of each of the geotechnical evaluation pits was monitored by a qualified archaeologist on Friday 22nd June 2001. The spoil from each pit was searched for artefacts. After the excavation of each pit, the sections and base were cleaned, and a photographic, drawn and written record made of all deposits exposed. After the pits had been recorded archaeologically, they were inspected for geotechnical purposes, prior to being backfilled on the 22nd June 2001. RESULTS None of the evaluation pits revealed any deposits of archaeological significance. No artefacts were found except for small quantities of modem brick, pottery and glass in the topsoil, none of which was retained. Each evaluation pit contained a darkish brown sandy loam topsoil, generally 0.3m thick and containing occasional small limestone fragments (less than 0.05m across) and modem artefacts. Below the topsoil in each pit was a pale brown silty sand, at least 0.4m thick and containing moderate quantities oflarger limestone fragments (up to 0.15m across). This 'subsoil' deposit is assumed to be the uppermost weathered surface of the Lincolnshire Limestone geology. CONCLUSION The geotechnical evaluation pits contained nothing of archaeological significance. This suggests that the development site as a whole contains little or no significant archaeology.
