The earliest extant evidence of human activity within the excavation area was an attempt at land consolidation in the 12th or 13th century. This was followed by three periods of building from the 13th century onwards. Nine or ten buildings can be dated to the 13th and 14th centuries, and probably included the remains of stews - inns or brothels known from documentary sources. Further buildings were constructed in the 16th and 17th centuries, including a possible animal-baiting arena. The final phase of the excavated evidence included the remains of 18th- and 19th-century brick buildings reflecting the later use of the site as a foundry and metalworks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Series Books. \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Shop MOLA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41719634198668,"sku":"","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0322\/8745\/7420\/files\/banksideexcavationsatbenbowhouse.jpg?v=1694508084"},{"product_id":"a-romano-british-cemetery-on-watling-street-excavations-at-165-great-dover-street-southwark-london","title":"A Romano-British cemetery on Watling Street: excavations at 165 Great Dover Street, Southwark, London","description":"\u003cp class=\"details\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnthony Mackinder\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA roadside cemetery lay alongside Watling Street 1km south-east of the Roman settlement of Southwark.

A large well contained the remarkably well-preserved elements of an elaborate rotary water-lifting device, comprising the wooden buckets and iron linking chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArchaeology Studies Series 19\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shop MOLA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41720134434956,"sku":"","price":8.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0322\/8745\/7420\/files\/romanwaterfrontdevelopment.jpg?v=1694522713"},{"product_id":"finsbury-s-moated-manor-medieval-land-use-and-later-development-in-the-finsbury-square-area-islington","title":"Finsbury’s moated manor, medieval land use and later development in the Finsbury Square area, Islington","description":"\u003cp class=\"details\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2009\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKen Pitt, with Jeremy Taylor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArchaeological investigations at seven sites within the Finsbury Square area of London have revealed important evidence for the medieval and post-medieval development of this former marshy area north of the city walls.

A 2nd-century AD revetment and observations of the late Roman riverside wall are also described.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMOLA Archaeology Studies Series 33\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shop MOLA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41743783592076,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0322\/8745\/7420\/files\/riverbank_0.jpg?v=1696321246"},{"product_id":"st-marylebone-s-paddington-street-north-burial-ground-excavations-at-paddington-street-london-w1-2012-13","title":"St Marylebone’s Paddington Street north burial ground: excavations at Paddington Street, London W1, 2012–13","description":"\u003cp class=\"details\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMichael Henderson, Adrian Miles and Don Walker\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"large-7 columns product-info\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring the 18th century the expansion of the wealthy London parish of St Marylebone led to the development of two additional graveyards to relieve pressure on the church and churchyard on Marylebone High Street. The latest of these, on the north side of Paddington Street, was in use between 1772 and 1853. Archaeologists recorded 386 burials from 124 single, stacked and brick-lined graves at the western edge of this ground. The archaeological findings and detailed osteological analysis of 291 individuals are combined with documentary research to provide a fascinating account of a burial ground used predominantly by the middle and upper classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMOLA Archaeology Studies Series 34\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shop MOLA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41743784673420,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0322\/8745\/7420\/files\/SS34.jpg?v=1696321486"},{"product_id":"a-bronze-age-barrow-cemetery-at-andover-airfield-penton-mewsey-near-weyhill-hampshire-excavations-2007-10","title":"A Bronze Age barrow cemetery at Andover Airfield, Penton Mewsey, near Weyhill, Hampshire: excavations 2007-10","description":"\u003cp class=\"details\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIsca Howell with Lyn Blackmore, Jon Cotton and Michael Henderson\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"large-7 columns product-info\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArchaeological excavation by MOLA on a chalk downland site near Andover revealed funerary activity from the Chalcolithic (‘Beaker’) period to the Late Bronze Age. A single inhumation became the focus for later cremation burials; these were succeeded by two isolated barrows and a barrow cemetery, which in turn attracted further urned and unurned cremation burials. The chronology is supported by a series of radiocarbon dates. In all, eight inhumation and 35 cremation burials are detailed, together with pottery, worked flint and small finds. A 5m deep Middle Bronze Age shaft produced an assemblage of animal bone, possibly the remains of feasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMOLA Archaeology Studies Series 35\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shop MOLA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41743785328780,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0322\/8745\/7420\/files\/SS35.png?v=1696321727"},{"product_id":"a-17th-century-burial-ground-of-st-thomas-s-hospital-southwark-excavations-at-shard-place-2014-17","title":"A 17th-century burial ground of St Thomas’s Hospital, Southwark: Excavations at Shard Place, 2014–17","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eArchaeological excavations at Shard Place, Southwark, by Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) revealed evidence of funerary activity associated with old St Thomas’s Hospital. The discovery of 811 inhumations, dating from the 17th to early 18th century exposed the intensive nature of burial activity in an area immediately to the south-east of the hospital buildings. This burial assemblage, together with dumps of hospital waste and evidence of structural remains associated with the 18th-century hospital rebuilding, enhances our knowledge of the early history of this London institution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe study of the skeletal remains of 794 individuals, the majority of whom must have been inmates at St Thomas’s Hospital, provides an insight into the health of the population and the diseases from which they suffered. The demographic structure of the burial sample reveals elevated vulnerability in adolescence and early adulthood, an indication of the health risks inherent within an increasingly crowded urban landscape. The City’s poor endured cramped living conditions and rising levels of pollution. Many migrated to London in search of jobs as labourers, or servants and apprentices. The burial ground revealed early evidence of hospital medical practice in the form of surgical limb amputation. Skeletal evidence of venereal syphilis was also identified, consistent with records of specialist ‘foul wards’ at St Thomas’s Hospital, provided for those suffering from this chronic condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos; mso-ligatures: standardcontextual; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eMichael Henderson, Adrian Miles and Don Walker, with Jacqui Pearce\u003cbr\u003eStudies Series 36\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shop MOLA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54441579282817,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0322\/8745\/7420\/files\/ss36.jpg?v=1751270251"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0322\/8745\/7420\/collections\/012319011.jpg?v=1693553033","url":"https:\/\/shop-mola.myshopify.com\/collections\/special-series.oembed?page=4","provider":"Shop MOLA ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
