Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reports documentary and archaeological evidence suggesting the foreshore between Narrow Street and the Thames had been reclaimed in the late-sixteenth century, after which wharves were constructed, probably between 1584 and 1602. The excavation revealed a timber wharf, dated dendrochronologically to 1584--85, constructed from horizontal planks fixed to upright posts, supported by iron strapped landward tiebacks, a technique previously known from the early-seventeenth century. A section of revetment perpendicular to the river represented the east side of a small dock or access way from Narrow Street onto the foreshore. This was infilled in 1635 and replaced with a stair leading to the foreshore. The truncated foundations and basement floors of Tudor riverside brick buildings were found. International trade links are attested by the various foreign finds, which include: coins from Portugal, Spain and Havana; German trading tokens; pottery from Persia, south-east Asia, the Rhineland, and north Italy; and Spanish oil jars.
