When were the first recorded dustmen in history? 2. How did Ancient Egyptians recycle old papyrus scrolls and manuscripts? 3. What did the Ancient Chinese Han Dynasty recycle animal waste, straw, plant ash into? 4. What did the Victorians introduce in 1842 that revolutionised how rubbish was collected? 5. In World War 2 families were encouraged to save their meat bones. What were they recycled into? 6. What year did Milton Keynes launch kerbside collections of recycling? 7. Where was the first purpose-built recycling factory in the UK? 8. What happens to the black bin bag rubbish in Milton Keynes today? Answers 1. 200 AD The first dustmen in history are found in Romans times. Teams of two men walked along the streets picking up rubbish and throwing it in a wagon. There is also evidence that early Romans recycled broken pottery into flooring and melted down bronze coins into statues that could be sold at a higher monetary value than the original coins. 2. There is evidence in Ancient Egypt that letters and legal documents were repurposed as mummy wrappings. 3. In China early records from the Han Dynasty suggest that composting was a part of life early as 2000 BC, recording ‘fertilizer recipes’ listing human & animal waste, straw, plant ash. 4. Victorians brought in regular refuse collections in 1842. Council standard galvanised dust bins and weekly collections were introduced to much public objection. It was found people put bins out on the wrong day and misused the bins.

No features or deposits of archaeological significance were observed during groundworks, and no artefactual material pre-dating the modern period was recovered. (EMK1294) Land at Walkers Bridge, Olney - Watching Brief 01/02/2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd / Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust Event - Intervention Monitoring of the excavations for the footings of the new agricultural building in the northeastern corner of Walkers Bridge Field revealed a Roman ditch (F1009), orientated northwest/southeast and a Roman pit (F1004). The latter cut undated Pit F1007. The fill (L1008) of Pit F1007 consisted of a compact pale grey, with red, orange and yellow mottling, crushed limestone. This suggests the possibility that the feature may have been a footing or pad for a large post. Pit F1004 may represent the deliberate removal of the post.

  • Late Medieval Buckinghamshire
    SOLENT THAMES HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT MEDIEVAL BUCKINGHAMSHIRE (AD 1066 - 1540) Kim Taylor-Moore with contributions by Chris Dyer July 2007 1. Inheritance Domesday Book shows that by 1086 the social and economic frameworks that underlay much of medieval England were already largely in place. The great Anglo Saxon estates had fragmented into the more compact units of the manorial system and smaller parishes had probably formed out of the large parochia of the minster churches. The Norman Conquest had resulted in the almost complete replacement of the Anglo Saxon aristocracy with one of Norman origin but the social structure remained that of an aristocratic elite supported by the labours of the peasantry. Open-field farming, and probably the nucleated villages usually associated with it, had become the norm over large parts of the country, including much of the northern part of Buckinghamshire, the most heavily populated part of the county. The Chilterns and the south of the county remained for the most part areas of dispersed settlement. The county of Buckinghamshire seems to have been an entirely artificial creation with its borders reflecting no known earlier tribal or political boundaries. It had come into existence by the beginning of the eleventh century when it was defined as the area providing support to the burh at Buckingham, one of a chain of such burhs built to defend Wessex from Viking attack (Blair 1994, 102-5). Buckingham lay in the far north of the newly created county and the disadvantages associated with this position quickly became apparent as its strategic importance declined.
