Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The passing of the Metropolis Local Management Act in 1855 and the creation of an empowered body, the Metropolitan Board of Works, can be seen as the first statutory attempt to reform London at a municipal level during the Victorian period. The paper explores whether the subsequent programme of sanitary improvement conducted by the Board of Works and London's vestries over the next thirty years, together with managed rubbish collection, can be detected in the archaeological record by using the extensive excavations in north Lambeth as an example of practices that occurred across London. It also demonstrates the strength and distinctiveness of historical archaeology in being able to examine disposal processes that otherwise remain largely mute in the written sources. | |||
