Pan Urban Extension, Newport
50 evaluation trenches excavated as part of an archaeological
evaluation of a proposed housing development produced
few finds of interest. The investigation of 16 test
pits by the Boxgrove Project Team was, however, successful
in identifying an important suite of Pleistocene deposits
allowing the re-evaluating an important Palaeolithic
site and its lithic assemblages. A programme of outreach
activities allowed local residents the opportunity
to watch archaeology in action.
