This exciting volume pays tribute to the work of the archaeologist
Harvey Sheldon, who has been involved in the archaeology of London
for over four decades. The papers, written by his friends and
colleagues in the archaeological community, cover a wide range of
subjects connected with the archaeology of Roman London. These are
presented under four main themes and are prefaced by a short
introduction explaining how they relate to the research framework
document for London published in 2002. The volume begins with a
section on the chronology and cartography of Roman London,
including papers on antiquarian sources, estimates of population,
and the city after the departure of the Romans. The second section
examines the landscape and environment of Roman London and its
hinterland, drawing from a variety of disciplines: subjects covered
include the evidence for Roman gardens; the route of the road from
London to Colchester; and a gazetteer of tree-ring dates for Roman
London. The third part of the book examines themes which are more
difficult to identify through the archaeological record, such as
education, cults and attitudes to death and burial. In the fourth
section of the volume, the rich material culture of Roman London is
examined through a series of papers on artefacts, including
brooches, inkwells and toilet implements. The book concludes with a
review of Harvey Sheldon's work and a bibliography.
