Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological and geoarchaeological evaluation was undertaken at the St Anselm's Church, Dartford. The work was undertaken between the 1st and 3rd of December 2008 on behalf of Scott Wilson Group Ltd. Three evaluation trenches initially sampled the surface archaeology and three geo-archaeological test pits, at the end of each trench, investigated the geological sequence. The evaluation trenches revealed only two sub-circular features, representing modern activity. These features were overlain by a deep layer of made ground, associated with the construction of the church in 1975. The first natural horizon varied in depth from 27.65 metres OD to the west of the site and 28.31 metres OD to the east of the site. The lack of archaeological remains may indicate that the natural horizon has been truncated by construction works associated with the church. The geoarchaeolgical test pits revealed Head Deposits cover site overlaying the weathered surface of the natural chalk. In one of the test pits a single isolated patch of fluvial sands encountered at a depth in excess of two metres. The underlying chalk formed an uneven, undulating surface, derived from solution, occurring after the erosion of the chalk by fluvial processes. No artefacts were recovered from the test pits, however, there was an abundance of relatively large flint nodules indicating a high quality raw material in the Pleistocene
