This volume concerns the HS1 study theme defined as 'Prehistoric
Ebbsfleet'. It focuses on landscape development and human
occupation from the Palaeolithic through to the Early Iron Age, a
span of around 300,000 years. This period incorporates fluctuating
extremes of climate between harsh sub-arctic conditions when
southern Britain would have been a frozen and uninhabitable
treeless waste, and Mediterranean conditions when luxuriant forest
was interspersed with grassy plains, rich in what we would now
regard as tropical fauna such as lion, hippopotamus and hyaena. A
reappraisal of the important Palaeolithic flint artefact
collections from Baker's Hole and the Ebbsfleet Channel is also
presented.

Archaeological investigations carried out during improvements to
five key junctions along a stretch of the A13 trunk road through
the East London Boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Newham and Barking and
Dagenham have revealed evidence for activity spanning the
Mesolithic through to the post-Roman period. Regionally important
evidence of Neolithic activity included artefact assemblages of
pottery and worked flint. A rare cache of charred emmer wheat
provides definitive evidence of early Neolithic cereal cultivation
in the vicinity and a fragment of belt slider made from Whitby jet
attests the long distance exchange networks. The greatest
concentration of activity, however, dates to the 2nd Millenium BC
and includes several waterlogged wooden structures and trackways,
burnt mounds and other evidence associated with wetland edge
occupation. Extensive geoarchaeological and palaeoenvironmental
sampling provides an important record of landscape evolution and
periods of major change can be detected, both natural and
anthropogenically induced. As well as providing a context for the
archaeology along the A13, this raises a number of issues regarding
the interaction of local communities with the natural environment,
how they responded to change and to a certain extent exploited it.
Ultimately this is of relevance not only to understanding the past
but also to current concerns regarding environmental management
along the Thames estuary.
