330 .. $a "Excavations in 2002 by Pre-Construct Archaeology on two adjacent sites south of The
Highway in Shadwell have revealed the presence of an extensive late Romano-British
settlement. The sites lie on an escarpment overlooking the north bank of the Thames,
over a kilometre beyond the walls of Londinium. The area's importance first became
apparent in the 1970s through the discovery of monumental masonry and third-century
settlement and burial evidence, although the nature of this activity has remained
controversial. At Tobacco Dock, Roman activity increased dramatically in the third
century when the natural escarpment was terraced and clay-and-timber buildings, drains
and water tanks were constructed. In the subsequent excavation beneath Babe Ruth restaurant
to the east, a substantial and well-preserved masonry bath housewith hypocausts, an
apse and ready access to fresh spring water. A well-appointed clay-and-timber building
to its north apparently serviced the needs of the baths and its visitors. The rich
finds assemblage includes a gold ear-ring and necklace, suggesting the presence of
wealthy women at the baths, alongside bracelets, finger rings and a large collection
of hair pins. The pottery includes an unusual late assemblage of imported samian and
amphora whilst the animal bone and palaeoenvironmental remains provide a wealth of
information about the local environment, economy and diet, including rare early evidence
for the elusive black rat. This volume presents the evidence for Roman Shadwell as
revealed by these excavations and considers its place within the broader context of
Londinium and its hinterland."--Publisher's website
