Overview

Fieldwork documents archaeological findings and sediment analysis in a specific location, indicating preservation issues.

Key Points

  • The aim was to monitor and record sediments at the Twyford Padbury Brook site, following established archaeological standards.
  • Conducted mechanical excavation in spits of 200-300mm depth.
  • Sieved 100 litres of sediment from every fifth machine bucket, totaling 1400 litres.
  • Documented geological contexts using pro-forma log sheets and photographs.
  • Processed organic and faunal samples using specialized techniques.
  • No lithic artefacts or faunal remains were recovered during the excavation.
  • An ephemeral organic deposit with poorly preserved remains was noted.
  • Identified gravel units overlaid by thin alluvium and soil layers, indicating past vegetation growth.
