Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Second of two reports on excavations in advance of development at 211 Long Lane, Southwark. The geo-topography of the site is described, consisting partly of a gravel eyot and partly of peat deposits overlying alluvial clays and sands. Prehistoric evidence from the site was described in Part I; Part II summarises evidence of Romano-British agricultural activity, probably related to settlements at Bermondsey or Southwark, followed in the late-twelfth or early-thirteenth century by a series of causewayed ditches, possibly linked to the establishment of Long Lane as a route across the marshes which then characterised the area. The area appears to have continued to be used for cultivation until the early post-medieval period, but by 1746 the northern frontage of Long Lane was largely occupied by tanners' yards, characterised by a number of horn core or barrel-lined pits. A sample of 100 horn cores was subjected to a detailed examination. The location of the tanning pits shifted northward during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with the construction of blocks of timber tanks over the northern part of the site. The earlier tanning pits were backfilled with domestic debris during the nineteenth century, including a large quantity of ceramics. Animal bones suggest that remains largely represent domestic refuse of low-status foodstuffs. | |||||||||||||
