Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a deposit model and geoarchaeological assessment carried out by Archaeology South-East at land at West St Leonards, East Sussex. The deposit model was generated using geotechnical boreholes which recorded substantial organic deposits within the Hillington Stream floodplain. The design of the proposed development requires piling in order to underpin the new building. The effects of piling on waterlogged sediment are poorly understood particularly in relation to de-watering and the halo effect. In order to gain a better understanding of the nature of sediment deposition at the site it is suggested that a core is recovered for multi-proxy analysis and radiocarbon dating. In addition, up to 5 additional boreholes are proposed in order to further refine the model of sediment accumulation. |
