In trying to recreate small parts of historical pieces, it became clear that, in general, research literature often lacks basic information on the materials used to create a particular object. The stitching process also pointed to additional information regarding how things were likely made and probably by whom.

A thin peat (the lower peat) at c.5.5—5.75m depth (-4.45 to -4.7m OD) contained tree trunks, some with roots attached. The layer was sampled and assessed for plant macrofossils, wood and molluscs and was radiocarbon dated to the early Neolithic (3940—3700 cal bc), probably relating to the Tilbury III regression. Floodplain alder carr and surrounding mixed deciduous woodland were inundated in the Early Neolithic by Thames flood waters during marine transgression and have been preserved in situ as a submerged forest. Human activity in the local forest is indicated by the presence of wood charcoal and scorched snails but no archaeological features or artefacts were found.

Archaeological evaluation of a small redevelopment
site in Canning Town revealed a deep, well-stratified
Holocene alluvial sequence (the Tilbury Formation)
to 5.8m depth (-4.75m OD) over Devensian fluvial
sands and gravels. A thin peat (the lower peat) at
c.5.5—5.75m depth (-4.45 to -4.7m OD) contained tree
trunks, some with roots attached. The layer was sampled
and assessed for plant macrofossils, wood and molluscs
and was radiocarbon dated to the early Neolithic
(3940—3700 cal bc), probably relating to the Tilbury
III regression. Floodplain alder carr and surrounding
mixed deciduous woodland were inundated in the
Early Neolithic by Thames flood waters during marine
transgression and have been preserved in situ as a
submerged forest. Human activity in the local forest is
indicated by the presence of wood charcoal and scorched
snails but no archaeological features or artefacts were
found.
The thick overlying sediment sequence contained
two further main bodies of peat dating to the end of
the Early Neolithic (3350—3030 cal bc) and Middle
Bronze Age (1400—1130 cal bc), correlating broadly
with other Tilbury sequences in London and with
a shallower peat sequence at Silvertown, where a
Neolithic trackway was identified. The pollen indicates
the continuation of dense and relatively undisturbed
forest for the Neolithic to Middle Bronze Age wetland
edge landscape. Although long-term settlement of the
area would not have been feasible due to the fluctuation
and instability of these wetlands, it is likely that the
area offered opportunities for economic activities such
as fishing and fowling.
Excellent preservation by waterlogging in this deep
sequence has been demonstrated and archaeological
evidence in the form of organic remains, eg trackways
and fishtraps, may be discovered in the area in the
future.

Early and Middle Anglo-Saxon contexts. The majority of the
material (3420 fragments; 99.8%) derived from Middle Anglo-
Saxon pits. Four fragments of bone were recovered from
ditch fills, and from the backfill of two of the Early Anglo-
Saxon graves. The general character and poor condition of
the bone from the graves suggests that it is residual.

two Romano-British ditches and a timber building
falling within the Roman small town at Neatham,
to the west of areas previously excavated by Millett
and Graham. The site lay on the south side of the
line of the suggested Roman road from Neatham to
Winchester, although the orientation of the ditches
may indicate that the course of the road differed
from that previously assumed. The pottery and coins
date activity to between the late 3rd and the late 4th,
possibly early 5th, centuries AD, the finds and environmental
evidence indicating both domestic activity
and possible malting and brewing, perhaps supplying
the mansio in the town.

from three Romano-British sites near Springhead:
a small town, a villa rustica and a sanctuary
complex. Archaeological evidence indicates that
some species were used as food, some were part
of the background fauna while others featured in
ritual activities.

Germany. Conditions are described, interpreted and compared with material from Ireland (a regional study including
several historical sites), Germany (early medieval Hedeby and its successor Schleswig) and The Netherlands (Roman
settlement Tiel-Passewaaij).
Keywords: Palaeopathology, spavin, traction, periodontal disease, animal bones, Emden.

Archaeological evaluation of a small redevelopment
