Although prehistoric worked wood has been excavated in recent years in London, it is the structural woodwork of the historic periods that has received most attention over the last 3 decades. Much of this work was initially lead by G. Milne and was concerned with waterfront installations such as quays, warehouses, river walls,jetties and bridges. Work on the nautical finds made along the upper estuary of the Thames was lead by P Marsden until the late 1980s. Much of this earlier work has been published relatively fully and set standards for waterfront archaeology in historic port towns. During the last 12 years much new material has been excavated and some new lines of inquiry taken up by this writer and co workers at the Museum of London. Details of woodworking practice indicated by features such as toolmarks have been examined in detail and a series of new insights gained. Methods of timber conversion have been reconstructed in detail for several periods and also explored through experimental work. Aspects of early sawing technology are considered here. Attempts have also been made to reconstruct the raw materials used by early woodworkers and changes in the treescapes harvested are now becoming apparent. Some of these general trends are discussed below. All of this work has been greatly aided by the use of tree-ring studies not just for dating but also examining issues of trade and woodland management in timber supply. | ||
