Abstract: |
A survey of part of the River Thames foreshore was carried out in advance of potential redevelopment of the river wall. An auger survey was also attempted, but extremely compacted make-up was encountered at a depth of 0.6m, and the transect was abandoned. The survey identified a number of features and deposits, including timber structures and indirect evidence for the transport of goods in the post-medieval period. Much of the foreshore itself appeared to have been man-made, with compacted layers forming bargebeds and rubble consolidation infilling timber wharfs. None of the identified features were thought to pre-date the post-medieval period, but a scatter of ceramic building materials and pottery of Roman to post-medieval date was noted. [Au(adp)] |
