Thames Discovery Programme - Thames Archaeological Survey It was not until the early 1990s that the stratified archaeology of Thames foreshore deposits began to be explored more rigorously. Gustav Milne said: It was a survey being conducted in 1993 at Bermondsey by Richard Hill which became the catalyst for the next phase of development. Hill’s examination of the foreshore as part of a study for the Institute of Archaeology revealed prehistoric peat layers containing faunal and lithic artefacts, and the remains of a post-medieval shipyard.

These projects further demonstrated the enormous potential for surviving archaeological deposits on the foreshore and led to the initiation in 1995 of a Pilot Study jointly instigated by the London Archaeological Research Facility and the Museum of London.

Hasselback Garlic Cheesy Bread Hasselback Garlic Cheesy Bread First thing: this Calphalon Giveaway ends on Friday! Enter enter enter! Second thing: this bread is the bomb. Last week, I got some evil Kerrygold Samples in the mail. Aw, shucks. What is a girl to do? To prevent myself from inhaling it all in a 24 hour period, I put some in the freezer, but then immediately thought of this bread I’ve been wanting to make. They hang out in my booty. {TMI? This bread is the very reason why I run. And believe it or not, this is super simple to make! So, that’s all the info you need to know, m’kay? First thing you’re going to want to do is grab all your ingredients. Into a mixer bowl, add in your water, yeast and honey. Once your yeast has gotten foamy, stir in the salt and the flour in 1/4 cup increments. Once the dough starts pulling away from the sides and the bowl is looking pretty clean, then it’s time to set the timer and walk away. 5 minutes later your dough should be tacky and smooth. And melt it down. Hello, lover. See?

Vacuuming the Lungs By Paul Ford How to breathe deeply when you're nervous. This morning I went to a studio and recorded some writing for eventual radio broadcast. During my readings, I could not get my breath. I sucked in as much air as I could between takes, took off my sweater, wiped my brow, pushed away the chair and knelt on the floor, took a break, and sipped water—but no matter what I tried, I would find myself gasping by the end of every second sentence. Because of this, I couldn't get back to the calm, measured reading I'd rehearsed. My girlfriend is an opera singer and performance studies expert who has spent years working on breathing, so I asked her what to do next time. 1. 2. 3. 4. That's it. Phew.

Wreck in the Thames Princes Channel Founder of Royal Exchange linked to 16th century shipwreck Bow section safely on boardOver the summer, the Port of London Authority has been working with Wessex Archaeology to excavate and recover the bow and part of the side of a late 16th century merchant ship. The shipwreck was first located in April 2003 when the Port of London Authority was undertaking survey work in advance of dredging to deepen the Princes Channel to allow safe passage for the increasingly large ships using the Port. The ship’s timbers have been dated to 1574, and amongst the artefacts recovered is a cannon that has the maker’s marks ‘T G’. Between 1570 and 1579, Sir Thomas Gresham had interests into two iron-founding furnaces in the Weald of Kent, and in 1574 and 1578 he received licences to export cannons to Denmark.

British Archaeology, no 33, April 1998: Regions Frontier territory along the Thames The Thames valley today is the epitome of a peaceful landscape. It was not always so, writes George Limbrick Today we think of Oxford as lying at the heart of a homogeneous geographical region formed by the Thames valley, but for much of the last few thousand years this part of England was an area of intense political and economic rivalry and territorial dispute. In the Iron Age, and perhaps earlier, the River Thames and its northern tributary the Cherwell appear to have served as political, tribal boundaries. The political map of the Iron Age is complex, but distributions of coinage for this area suggest that the Catuvellauni occupied the area to the east of the Thames / Cherwell, the Atrebates to the south of the Thames, and the Dobunni to the west (with a possible `sub-Dobunni' group to the south-west). The pervasiveness of Roman culture and administration eventually suppressed any sign of the pre-existing tribal politics. Fact file
