Abstract: |
Archaeological remains and finds from Deptford dated from the prehistoric to post-medieval periods. The focus of late to post-medieval Deptford lay to the north of the site, as was noted by the predominance of structures dating to this period. This was further confirmed by the cartographic evidence: Rocque's map of 1762 highlighted a developing settlement around this area. A Roman cremation burial suggested that Roman evidence, possibly in the form of more burials, may have been present in the vicinity. However, the potential of the site was substantially reduced when the extent of truncation was taken into account. Cartographic evidence indicated that four large reservoirs had been on the site at some point in the last 150 years and occupied c.75% of the site area. [Au(adp)] |
