Source Number  

1 The excavation of two trial trenches prior to the erection of 23 dwellings recorded the remains of 19th and 20th century buildings overlying a depth of subsoil and natural deposits. It was likely that the site remained undeveloped until the 19th century. A map regression exercise revealed the construction of terraced houses along the Coventry Road frontage in the 19th century and the 20th century industrial uses of the site.

technique excavation Archaeologists excavate sites so that they can find information and recover archaeological materials before they are destroyed by erosion, construction or changes in land-use.

Depending on how complicated and widespread the archaeological deposits are, excavation can be done by hand or with heavy machinery. Archaeologists may excavate a site in a number of ways; either by open area excavation, by digging a test pit or a trial trench.
