Getting Archaeology into Class
Andrew Agate
3 - 8
Account of a small excavation project undertaken jointly in 2004 by students from the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, and staff and pupils from Kingsbury High School, Brent, with the aim of introducing the basics of archaeology to pupils at the school. The author describes ways in which the project was integrated with various aspects of the curriculum, enabled pupils to develop transferable skills, and encouraged the participation of children from disadvantaged, black and minority ethnic (BME) groups. The account includes an interim report of the excavation itself, at 75 Roe Green, Kingsbury, on the site of a Tudor timber-framed building, and concludes with a discussion on the barriers to active participation in archaeology in BME and disadvantaged communities, and ways in which these barriers might be overcome.

An archaeological watching brief at the site of groundworks in advance of construction at 1, Plough Place, London EC4, revealed the presence of a large feature filled with waterlain and alluvial deposits. Towards the centre of the feature large quantities of roofing peg tiles had been dumped into it, and pottery, mostly from the mid-fourteenth to fifteenth century, was also recovered. Twenty-four pieces of leather of comparable date were recovered. There were indications that the original stream channel ran along the western and southern margin. Geoarchaeological and pollen-stratigraphical analyses were undertaken which indicated the presence of an artificial pond fringed by open vegetation, with human activity nearby. The possible purpose of the feature is discussed, along with apparent deliberate infilling in the late-fifteenth century. Later features include a Kentish ragstone and chalk wall (part of the cellar of a building) and two barrel wells. The timber casks from the barrel wells are described in detail, as are the rim of an early post-medieval redware watering can and fragments of a copper cooking vessel, both found in the fill of one of the wells.

Field boundaries or funerary enclosures -- a new look at Old Ford; a new look at Old Ford
Tom Wilson

20 - 23
Summarises the results of an evaluation in advance of proposed redevelopment at 490 Roman Road, Bow, which revealed several features including ditches and pits containing late Roman pottery. The site lay within or close to an extensive cemetery that overlapped a small settlement at Old Ford, both of Roman date. Although the features revealed may be interpreted as field boundaries, but their proximity to the cemetery and the predominance of jars in the pottery assemblage lead the authors to suggest that some may represent funerary enclosures. It is also suggested that the evidence from the supposed settlement of Old Ford may indicate funerary or ritual, rather than normal domestic, activity.
