Laxton Close (Southampton Regeneration), Sholing, Southampton: An Archaeological Evaluation Report (OASIS ID aocarcha1-130357).

An archaeological investigation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on behalf of Lovell Partnership Ltd in July 2012 at the site of Laxton Close, Sholing, Southampton. The archaeological investigation consisted of an eight trench evaluation. During the course of the evaluation multiple undated ditch features and a single late post-medieval or modern posthole were encountered in the eastern area of the site, cut into the subsoil horizon. The subsoil overlay natural sandy clay gravel. These features are interpreted as being of low to moderate significance due their concentration, although the lack of dating evidence recovered from the ditches prevents greater significance being attributed to them. A phase of modern horizontal truncation was identified as having occurred in the northern area of the site. The results of the evaluation will be summarised for inclusion in the Hampshire Archaeology Round-up and published via the Archaeological Data Service (ADS) website. The archive will be deposited at Southampton Museums Service, Southampton.

2012年7月，AOC考古集团（AOC Archaeology Group）受洛弗尔合伙有限公司（Lovell Partnership Ltd）委托，在南安普敦市肖灵（Sholing）区域的拉克斯顿巷（Laxton Close）场地开展考古调查。本次考古调查包含8个探沟的勘探评估工作。勘探评估期间，在场地东部的心土层位中发现多处未断代沟状遗迹及1处后中世纪晚期或现代柱洞，上述遗迹均侵入心土层位。心土层覆盖于天然砂质粘土砾石层之上。鉴于这些遗迹的分布集中度，其学术价值被判定为低至中等；但由于未从沟状遗迹中获取有效断代证据，无法赋予其更高的学术价值。场地北部区域被识别存在一期现代水平剥蚀作用。本次勘探评估的结果将被整理总结，收录进《汉普郡考古综述》（Hampshire Archaeology Round-up），并通过考古数据服务（Archaeological Data Service, ADS）网站对外发布。相关考古档案将交由南安普敦博物馆管理处（Southampton Museums Service）存档。
