The Evolutionary Determinants of Health Programme
There is a mismatch between our palaeolithic genome and the urbanised Anthropocene world we now inhabit. One consequence is the alarming global rise in ‘Western Life-style’ diseases and conditions such as obesity, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It is suggested here that a better understanding of the ‘Evolutionary Determinants of Health and Urban Wellbeing’ might materially improve matters. Such an approach concerns ancestral diets, lifestyle …
Researching an Elizabethan Shipwreck
In 1846, a protracted underwater excavation took place in the Thames Estuary, some 11km north-north-east of Margate, Kent. The focus of this pioneering project was an ancient shipwreck, but the objective was simply to salvage as much of its valuable, if prosaic, cargo as possible. The historic significance of the discovery was not completely overlooked, however, for at a meeting of the British Archaeological Association in December of that year, …
The Thames Discovery Programme
The Thames Discovery Programme (TDP) – a community archaeology project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (from 2008–2011) and now hosted by Museum of London Archaeology – has maintained close links with UCL throughout the lifetime of the project. This continues the association established by our predecessor project, the Thames Archaeological Survey (Milne 'et al.', 1997: 130–146), which was directed by Gustav Milne (from 1995–1999) and encourag…
A capital concern
One of the Institute of Archaeology's main aims, as expressed in its mission statement (p.3), is "to play a major role in furthering the understanding of London's archaeological and historical past". Here a member of the Institute's staff, who has made many contributions to the study of London's past, summarizes the history of the Institute's involvement in the archaeology of the capital, and looks to the future
The boat found at Kingsteignton, Devon, in 1898
The remains of a 19th-century find of a medieval clinker-built vessel have been subject to modem examination and radiocarbon and dendrochronological dates obtained

Problems, potential and partial solutions
This paper considers some of the circumstances associated with the archaeological study of the Thames river system in south‐east England. It focuses on work related to the 95km reach of the river below Teddington, examining Holocene archaeological issues in the floodplain, on the urban waterfront and on the foreshore. Plotting the complex development dynamics of the river system itself, over a 10,000‐year period, and the correlation of that infor…

Excavations on the Thames Waterfront at Trig Lane, London, 1974–76
EXCAVATION OF THE 500 sq. m. waterfront site at Trig Lane in the City of London revealed a well-preserved series of timber and stone revetments on the medieval foreshore. They survived to heights of up to 3 m. and had been erected during the piecemeal reclamation and subsequent consolidation of the riverfront between the mid 13th and late 15th century.The structures are described in detail, and their form and function discussed. Ninety-four oak s…
