Abstract:		 Excavations by NAU Archaeology of six trial trenches ahead of the Dukes Wharf development site revealed features of probable eleventh century to modern date. Evidence of Saxo-Norman quarrying of the chalk scarp running along Westwick Street- Charing Cross was identified at the rear of the site. Further Saxo-Norman activity was discovered closer to the river, including a well-preserved timber structure that may have formed a walkway close to the Norman foreshore. Numerous well preserved leather off-cuts were collected from a Saxo-Norman riverine deposit which may derive from cobbling or clothing waste.Large numbers of 13th to 14th century medieval pits of alikely industrial purpose, possibly associated with Dying, Bleaching and Fulling processes were discovered in two locations on the site.The foundations of two possible 15th century stone buildings were revealed just below the modern make-up in two trenches near the centre of the site. The impessive remains of one of these structures exceeded 2m in depth. These structures rested above flint and mortar foundations of a likely 14th century construction. Brick foundations and well preserved rail-lines which once formed part of the Bullard''s Anchor Brewery were revealed in the western area of the site. A fairly large assemblage of finds was recovered which includes residual food waste associated with a high status diet; this includes an example of a cetacean bone such as a porpoise/dolphin, one off the most expensive medieval food items. Several finds worthy of interest were discovered, including a sealed late medieval cup-weight box (which could still contain a set of nested weights) and a late Saxon carved bone tool, possibly for use as a writing implement.
