Abstract
A severe case of neglect: foreshore archaeology on the Thames
Gustav Milne
1 - 2
Reports recent work of the Thames Foreshore Survey. The inter-tidal zone, between the low- and high-tide marks, had not previously been included on the relevant SMR, making the considerable amounts of archaeology contained there extremely vulnerable to destruction through development, as well as erosion by the river itself. The project aims to record cultural and palaeoenvironmental sites as well as vessels.
Heybridge: Elms Farm Project
4 - 5
Reports on the excavations which produced Neolithic pottery and pits (possibly ritual), a EBA pit containing Anglian-type Beaker, and an MBA ring-ditch with three cremation burials. 1993 excavations concentrated on an agricultural landscape north of the Roman town, with pits/post-holes indicating possible peripheral industries close to the town itself. Two pottery kilns, one LIA cremation and thirteen RB cremations were found. The Roman town street plan was defined in a number of areas. Iron and bronze slags along with domestic rubbish was found in southern part. A rectangular timber building was found to contain a large hearth. This RB artisan quarter began in LIA, as attested by several roundhouses. A possible series of temple buildings with adjacent market place was discovered in 1994, and six wells produced pewter vessels and a wooden object thought to have been a toy sword. There was evidence for a RB building destroyed by very fierce fire, and also pagan Saxon occupation.

Peat: no safeguards for this finite resource
Judith Plouviez
Reports concerns expressed by RESCUE to the DoE relating to the lack of adequate provision for protecting peat deposits of potential archaeological importance in PPG 16.
Public parks: a metal-detecting paradise?
Judith Plouviez
Reports the case of a Tudor pin found by metal detecting in a Waverley park. The object was declared not to be Treasure Trove and returned to the finder instead of to the Borough Council who, it was decided, merely looked after the park on behalf of the public. Waverley Borough Council are challenging the decision, with the support of RESCUE, because of the implications for the archaeological resource in public areas.
