Overview

Geoarchaeological monitoring identifies potential impacts and resources in Pleistocene river terraces, suggesting further investigations are needed.

Key Points

  • The aim is to characterize geoarchaeological deposits during Ground Investigations for a new pipeline.
  • Conducted geoarchaeological monitoring of 14 boreholes in the River Test and Dever valleys.
  • Performed geoarchaeological test pitting evaluation to inform the Geoarchaeological Landscape Characterisation.
  • Identified Geoarchaeological Character Zones based on Quaternary geological deposits.
  • Monitoring characterized Quaternary deposits without significant archaeological finds.
  • Identified that four river terraces of the Pleistocene River Test may contain important Lower and Middle Palaeolithic archaeology.
  • Recommends further geoarchaeological test pits to mitigate potential impacts on these terraces.
