Overview

Excerpt from Surrey Archaeological Collections, 1966, Vol. 63: Relating to the History and Antiquities of the County Again, from sites beside the Thames there have come a few artifacts from deposits along the bank broken into by utilitarian works or commercial excavations. Therefore, unless the finder of relics in these conditions was on the spot when the artifacts were exposed, his discoveries are hardly in better case than the vestiges from the dredgings. Nevertheless, whatever their age, these specimens betoken the riverine connexion of a food-collecting economy based on the wild life peculiar to the environment. The coping with this called for a specialized equipment. Owing to the absence of most indications normally required for a proper assessment of prehistoric products, only a brief review need be made of the implements of Mesolithic facies from places on the right bank of the Thames within, and adjacent to, the Greater London area. We Shall therefore consider the forms believed to be most characteristic typologically and technologically. It is hoped that the accompanying illustrations and the comments thereon may lead to researches in conditions like those recorded at Thatcham, Berks, and, if not so spectacularly, as clearly as at Broxbourne, Herts, and Sandstone, Iver, Bucks.
