Rescue excavation report on an area of two islands which became the focus for the Roman occupation of Southwark. Evidence for leatherworking, leadworking and the processing of animal carcasses suggest an area of waterfront industry under the Romans, with traces of a small shrine and a timber structure for storing amphorae also discovered. Constant attempts to keep the area drained appear from drainage ditches dug in both the 2nd and 5th Century.

Pre-Construct Archaeology

Excavations at two sites in the southern suburbs of the modern industrial town of Scunthorpe, originally a rural landscape with a scatter of villages overlooking the River Trent and its tributary, Bottesford Beck. Finds of flint tools show that humans had been around throughout prehistory; by the late Iron Age the Burringham Road site probably lay at the southern limit of a settlement, and for much of the Roman period there is evidence of various activities, mostly agriculture-related, and including several corn-driers; perhaps there was a villa nearby. The Baldwin Avenue site shows evidence of a Middle Saxon settlement with notable artefacts being three large lead vessels of a type that seems peculiar to the region. The title of the report reflects the fact that these two sites are peripheral to larger complexes, but nevertheless provide good information about them.
