Park Street, Camberley

Continuation of the watching brief begun in 2006 by S Ford of TVAS during redevelopment works. Little of archaeological interest was revealed, although peat deposits were unexpectedly encountered on part of the site. Analysis of pollens from this material suggested a changing landscape, with heathland species predominating in the early part of the sequence, followed by an increase in alder carr and grassy species later on. However, no link was ascertained between these results and either anthropogenic activity or archaeological time periods, and it was also noted that there were possible biases in the preservation of pollens within the elements of the sequence that meant that these conclusions could not be stated with full confidence.
