Abstract: |
The archaeological investigation at 285-329 Edgware Road demonstrate the presence of a stratified archaeological sequence dating from the 18th century to the early 20th century. Despite the absence of in situ archaeological deposits dating to the Roman or medieval period, the presence of residual material in 18th and early 19th century deposits suggest activity during these periods near the site. The earliest activity on site, dating broadly to the 18th century, show the formation of a subsoil horizon together with cut features associated with horticultural activity. This can be of significance when considering the earliest development of the site was dated to the early/mid 17th century in the southwest part of the site . The change in use of the land to the south of Building 1 from horticultural (Phase 2.1 and 2.2) to domestic activity (Phase 3.2) is of interest principally referring to general food use and pottery provenance. The presence of animal burials is also of interest when compared to similar deposits found in Camden (British Museum) and/or Southwark (Bermondsey Abbey). The increasing activity during the 19th century, attested by the archaeological evidence, show the development of the site and coincide with the documentary evidence which show increasing population size during this century. Of interest is the development of the sewer system consisting of brick culverts and circular manholes which provide the properties fronting Church Street with appropriate sanitary services. |
