NOTES ON BEITISH EOMAN AND SAXON EEMAINS THEBE EOUND. BY E. C. J. SPURRELL. STONE IMPLEMENTS. WHEN the Kent Archaeological Society met at Dartford, in 1868, the knowledge and study of the more ancient stone implements was in an early stage; almost in its infancy, being, so far as this country was concerned, barely ten years old. And as those stone implements were not commonly accepted as the work of man, they were looked upon doubtfully by the old antiquary: and because one class of them came out of deep cuttings in the ground, and from stalagmite caverns, they were left to geologists as " fossils; " regarding that word as dismissing the matter into the domain of geology. Yet, for all that, the recognition of the earliest palaeolithic implements, as human workmanship is due to Englishmen's acumen; and although the study was revived in Erance, it was consolidated into a science by the investigation of Englishmen once agaim In our own district, that is, about ten miles round Dartford, quite as much attention has been paid to the matter as in any spot in the world, and with a greater success than anywhere else in determin- ing certain controverted points; such as the reality of human agency in the formation of implements, and the larger grasp of the subject consequent on the minute search which has traced them continuously through a greater range in elevation and consequently of age. -

We are mining historians – a unique blend of unlikely Kopposites. We are primarily archaeologists and carry out academic research into the history of underground features and associated industries. To do this, however, we must be practical and thus have the expertise to carry out exploration and sur- veying of disused mines. Such places are often more dangerous than natural caverns, but our members have many years experience of such exploration. Unlike other mining areas, the South East has few readily available records of the mines. Such records as do exist are often found in the most unlikely places and the tracing of archival sources is an ongoing operation. A record of mining sites is maintained and constantly updated as further sites are discovered. -
Provisional Checklist and Account of the Mammals of the London Borough of Bexley
PROVISIONAL CHECKLIST AND ACCOUNT OF THE MAMMALS OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BEXLEY Compiled by Chris Rose BSc (Hons), MSc. 4th edition. December 2016. Photo: Donna Zimmer INTRODUCTION WHY PROVISIONAL? Bexley’s mammal fauna would appear to be little studied, at least in any systematic way, and its distribution is incompletely known. It would therefore be premature to suggest that this paper contains a definitive list of species and an accurate representation of their actual abundance and geographical range in the Borough. It is hoped, instead, that by publishing and then occasionally updating a ‘provisional list’ which pulls together as much currently available information as can readily be found, it will stimulate others to help start filling in the gaps, even in a casual way, by submitting records of whatever wild mammals they see in our area. For this reason the status of species not thought to currently occur, or which are no longer found in Bexley, is also given. Mammals are less easy to study than some other groups of species, often being small, nocturnal and thus inconspicuous. Detecting equipment is needed for the proper study of Bats. Training in the live-trapping of small mammals is recommended before embarking on such a course of action, and because Shrews are protected in this regard, a special licence should be obtained first in case any are caught. Suitable traps need to be purchased. Dissection of Owl pellets and the identification of field signs such as Water Vole droppings can help fill in some of the gaps. Perhaps this document will be picked up by local students who may be looking for a project to do as part of their coursework, and who will be able to overcome these obstacles. -

Pepperhill to Cobham
A Road Through the Past Archaeological Discoveries on the Pepperhill to Cobham A2 rchaeological excavations Background to along the route of the A2 APepperhill to Cobham Widening the discoveries Scheme, near Gravesend in Kent, have uncovered a rich archaeological landscape reaching back 10,000 years. The discoveries include a sensational series of rich burials dating to around the time of the Roman conquest, which are amongst the finest ever found in Britain. Important evidence for prehistoric and medieval settlement was also found. The excavations were carried out by Oxford Archaeology, working for Skanska on the £122 million Highways Agency scheme. Archaeological fieldwork was carried out over eleven months from September 2006. Analysis of the findings is being carried out and a detailed report will be published in early 2010. This booklet presents highlights of the findings to date. The main area of archaeological investigation runs for nearly 3 km between Pepperhill Junction and Marling Cross Junction. It traverses two raised plateaux divided by a dry valley at Tollgate Junction (A227 Wrotham Road). Smaller-scale excavations were Photograph taken in 1922 during construction of an earlier version of the A2 showing the surface also carried out prior to the construction of Roman Watling Street (courtesy of Kent of two new drainage ponds adjacent to Archive Service, Centre for Kentish Studies) Cobham Services.
