Abstract: |
Prior to construction of Tate Modern 2 an archaeological evaluation was conducted on the site consisting of two evaluation trenches in proposed pile positions. In addition a watching brief was maintained on borehole positions excavated in order to look at the water table with a view to the construction of a new geothermal system for the heating and cooling of the new buildings. Initial results suggest survial of deposits and structures from the Roman to post medieval periods. There was also some survival of peaty clay deposits possibly prehistoric in origin. |
