London Archaeologist 9 (3)

Report on evidence for prehistoric occupation uncovered during archaeological work at 47--67 Hopton Street, Southwark. A finds assemblage comprising substantial amounts of worked lithics and burnt flint, as well as pot sherds, bone fragments, daub and a red compound (thought to be dye) suggested a Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date, with a smaller Mesolithic to Early Neolithic component. A small pit containing a complete beaker bowl of Late Neolithic date was found in association with a flint core and blade, and linear grooves were interpreted as ard or plough marks.

Report on archaeological investigations carried out at Mount Vernon, Hampstead, which revealed remnants of a late medieval field system; an insubstantial timber building of Tudor date; and a brick-built cellared building dating to the seventeenth century. Finds included the spout, in the form of an animal head, of a late medieval lavabo.
