Archaeol Cantiana 120

Largely historical account of the early development of this late-Victorian `up-market' seaside resort town.

giving a brief history of the castle

which notes the identification of a flint wall foundation (running at approximately right angles to the one excavated in 1996)

notes excavation of fifty-seven bowls and 416 pipe stem fragments. Mostly dating from the seventeenth century, although nearly all residual in nineteenth-century contexts

concludes that the castle was probably used between the late-thirteenth and (at least) the late-fifteenth centuries AD

which includes a mortarium c. 75-125 AD. Nearly all of the pottery seems to have come from more westerly coastal sites, including the Thames estuary and Canterbury

notes the discovery of 181 prehistoric worked flints, including a hammer-stone, three scrapers, three piercers and five utilised flakes

with surprisingly few shells found considering the site's location

An analysis of the finds from the north Kent foreshore between Seasalter and Swalecliffe. Argues that West Cliff and Tankerton Slopes represent parts of the original southern valley side of the river Swale, as opposed to being the result of marine erosion. Suggests that the valley north of West Cliff was occupied as late as 1300 AD, while at Swalecliffe sea erosion probably rendered the area uninhabitable from the Late Roman/Early Anglo Saxon period. Also mentions some finds, including: a Mesolithic 67mm Acheulian hand axe; a gold Gallo-Belgic ambiani coin, dated to 125--100 BC; and various ceramics.

A numismatic study of pre-Roman Kent, which identifies ten distinct phases of coinage. In total 1,974 different coins are surveyed, some of which are inscribed. Metals include gold, silver, bronze and potin (high tin content, cast bronze). The survey indicates a widespread use of currency, even in rural areas.

Summary of the history and demolition of the chapel, which was probably an Early Norman construction. Includes a comparison with the characteristically similar chapels of Dode and Paddlesworth.

Mostly historical. Includes some information pertaining to civic improvements, local industry and the construction of railway lines.

iron vehicle linchpin found, with decorated, copper-alloy terminals and evidence of wear . Due to its elaborate design it is interpreted as being from a prestigious vehicle, presumably a chariot

an analysis of the photograph, which reveals information about the original architecture of the Anglo-Saxon church
