The gravel terraces of the river Thames have revealed a wealth of
archaeological information about the evolution of the landscape of
the region, the development of the settlement pattern, and past
human occupation. Much of this has come to light in the course of
gravel quarrying, which has been so extensive that the Thames
Valley now provides one of the richest resources of archaeological
data in the country. This volume provides an up to date overview of
the archaeological evidence from the valley for the late Iron Age,
Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods, broadly speaking the first
millennium AD. The area studied in detail comprises the Upper
Thames Valley, from the source of the river to the Goring Gap, and
the Middle Thames Valley, from the Goring Gap to the start of the
tidal zone at Teddington Lock. A summary of evidence for the
character of the river and the vegetation and environment of its
floodplain is followed by a detailed account of the evolving
settlement pattern as currently understood from archaeological
evidence. The authors then consider what archaeology can reveal
about the late Iron Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon populations of the
valley, and their changing lifestyles, culture, identities and
beliefs. This is followed by a review of the evidence for
production, trade, transport and communication, and the archaeology
of power and politics. The volume concludes with a discussion of
the state of knowledge today and its limitations, and emerging
themes and problem areas for future research.
