Abstract
The papers published in this volume were all read at a weekend conference held at Oulton Hall, Clacton, Essex, from 10 to 12 March 1975. This conference brought together archaeologists and specialists in related disciplines, both amateur and professional, currently working on the archaeology of Essex. Eighteen papers were presented and each contribution is summarized in this volume. Collectively these provide a precis of the archaeology of Essex of value to all those with an interest in the past of the county. It also exists as a permanent reminder of our present state of knowledge and should provide a stepping stone to future archaeological research work.
