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.
