Abstract: |
Report of an excavation carried out on a site alongside the north bank of the Thames. The evidence indicated that the site probably served as a working area for properties fronting the approach (later High Street) to the north side of Windsor Bridge from the twelfth century onwards. Evidence was also found of a succession of timber revetments constructed to consolidate the riverbank, although these were evidently lightweight constructions, and did not serve as major wharfage. Late medieval and post-medieval activity on the site was characterised by low intensity craft or industrial pursuits, prior to the development of the site in the eighteenth century and the construction of a malthouse. Includes specialist reports on the pottery; leather; glass; the metal objects; lead objects; metalworking debris; bone, antler and ivory objects; ceramic building material; the wooden waterfront structures; animal bone; charred and waterlogged plant remains; and mollusca, including marine mollusca. |
