Site Event/Activity record ESF28637 - Borehole Survey - 2-6 Russell Road, Ipswich

A programme of palaeoenvironmental evaluation consisting of a dynamic sampling survey was carried out to provide information on the nature and preservation of buried archaeology at the site, especially in relation to organic deposits associated with the Medieval Town Marsh. The site is currently in use as an open air car park. Cores were extracted at five locations, and the lithostratigraphy described. Subsamples from an organic deposit were assessed, and results from the window sampler survey were integrated with extant borehole and test pit data from the site along with other data to create a deposit model.
