Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation and watching brief was undertaken prior to, and during the redevelopment of the site and was in response to a condition upon planning permssion. Principally the remains uncovered were a sequence of timber-framed and masonry Roman buildings. The latter included London Clay backfilled foundation trenches observed locally only at the Lloyds Register of Shipping site and which may characterise a particular function as yet unknown. The building material recovered indicated that the area was particularly wealthy in the earliest periods although at the end of the 1st century AD or the beginning of the 2nd part of it was being used as a midden. The finds were a general domestic assemblage and included an unusually complete glass oil unguent vessel. A particulalry large group of late 3rd-century ceramics was worthy of quantification and further study on their own. In addition there were some isolated medieval pits, general truncation of the site during previous redevelopments having removed late Roman and subsequent ground levels. One of the pits contained an animal bone assemblage which may have related to Eastcheap's role as a centre of butchery during the later Middle Ages. One cess pit backfilled in the 18th century was examined and a 19th-century barrel-vaulted cellar was surveyed before demolition. [Au(adp)]
