S J Lobb & P G Rose
Description
This report presents the results of field surveys undertaken in 1976–77 and 1982–87 by the Berkshire Archaeological Unit, and in 1988–89 by Wessex Archaeology, and review the evidence for all periods of occupation in this area. In addition the results of evaluations carried out by Wessex Archaeology in the Kennet Valley between 1985 and 1989, are briefly presented and discussed.
Through air photographic evidence, documentary sources, and field walking, each survey studied the archaeological potential of areas of mixed geology, including both river and plateau gravels, floodplain and valley side in order to assess the potential of each topographic zone within its context. The methods themselves are also assessed and discussed.
The Survey had confirmed the considerable human impact on the landscape of he Kennet Valley and also the great potential remaining within zones as yet little explored or exploited. The data presented in this report will be crucial in the development of strategies appropriate to the management of the remaining archaeological resource.
