Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation at 75 The Avenue, Southampton (SOU1940 and SOU1951) 2021-2022

This collection comprises images, spreadsheets GIS data and scanned site records from an archaeological evaluation at 75 The Avenue, Southampton undertaken by Wessex Archaeology between December 2021 and November 2022. Brickearth was recorded at varying depths across the site, which is likely to have impacted the survival of archaeological remains, if present, predating the post medieval period. The results of the test pitting and the absence of significant Pleistocene sequences and Lower to Middle Palaeolithic artefacts, indicate that the Palaeolithic potential of the site is considered to be low.

本数据集涵盖2021年12月至2022年11月期间，由威塞克斯考古（Wessex Archaeology）于南安普敦市大道75号开展考古评估所获取的图像、电子表格、地理信息系统（GIS）数据及扫描版遗址记录。
遗址全域不同深度均有砖土层（brickearth）分布，该土层或对后中世纪时期之前的考古遗存（若存在该时期遗存）的保存状态造成负面影响。
试坑勘探结果表明，该遗址未发现显著的更新世（Pleistocene）地层序列，亦无旧石器时代早期至中期（Lower to Middle Palaeolithic）的人工制品遗存，因此该遗址具备旧石器时代（Palaeolithic）考古潜力的可能性较低。
