Thurrock's Deeper Past: A Confluence of Time' looks at the evidence for human activity
in Thurrock and this part of the Thames estuary since the last Ice Age, and how the
river crossing point here has been of great importance to the development of human
settlement and trade in the British Isles. It is a book about the archaeology of Thurrock.
It takes in all periods and most of the sites which have been excavated in the borough
of Thurrock over the last sixty or more years. The account opens at a time when Britain
is still joined to the continent and the inhabitants are using flint tools and weapons.
The author follows through the impact of the succeeding ages on the locality: the
melting of the ice, the Neolithic period bringing the farming of crops and stockholding,
the first appearance of worked metal in the Bronze Age, through the widespread use
of iron in the Iron Age; and then the dramatic impact of Rome and its gradual dissolution
to the English kingdoms whose traces are still recognisable today. All is set in the
context of the author's lasting interest in the subject, first nurtured at his Tilbury
school
