Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by London Gateway Port to produce a detailed record of the balustrade timber WA1168 prior to any approved discard. The timber had been recovered in 2010 during the clearance of Wreck Site 343/26 5046 and assessed with a number of other finds by the Thames Discovery Program in April 2010 as part of the London Gateway Port capital dredging works. The timber was not deemed to be of archaeological interest; therefore it was recorded by photograph only and proposed for discard. Wessex Archaeology acquired the timber in 2012. A detailed photographic record and drawing of the timber has been produced. During the assessment it became apparent that the timber may have been a stanchion from a fife rail. Since then the timber has been passively conserved by Wessex Archaeology and periodically monitored by Wessex Archaeology’s in-house conservator. |
