The report is written and structured in a particular way to conform with the standards required of post-excavation analysis work as set out in Management of Archaeological Projects (English Heritage, 1991). This report draws on and refines the results of excavations and earlier assessments, principally the Scheme of Archaeological Resource Management (SARM, Hawkins 2009), the Written Scheme of Investigation (Francis 2010b), previous evaluations (Divers 2000, Francis 2010a) and an interim publication (Hawkins et al 2013). The report describes the planning background and excavation history for the site (Section 1). The historical and archaeological background is contained in Section 2, and the archaeology discovered on site has been described in Section 4. In Section 5 the finds and environmental evidence is quantified and assessed. The dating evidence has been integrated with the stratigraphic data enabling the latter section to be set out in terms of the provisional periods represented on site. Sections 4 and 5 are the foundations from which Section 6, Potential of the Data has been developed. This potential is discussed in terms of how well the site can answer the original and additional research objectives (Section 7). There was no strong evidence for prehistoric settlement, although finds indicate that the site was used by prehistoric peoples. Geoarchaeological investigation was able to reconstruct in part the environment from the prehistoric period to the 19th century specifically in relation to a palaeochannel that crosses the site. The remains of a late 2nd century to 3rd century Roman enclosure with part of a skeleton in its fill (the only burial on site) were unexpected discoveries. A concentration of ex situ building material suggested that there may have been a Roman building on site. The Dockyard was founded in 1513 with the construction of a Storehouse (now a Scheduled Ancient Monument). A wide ditch nearby may have preceded this building. As the Dockyard developed through the Stuart period (1603–1714), a Dockyard Basin was constructed of timber, probably from a Tudor precursor for which some evidence survived. A narrow building was probably the Treasurer of the Navy’s House and the Dockyard perimeter wall was also identified. In the south of the site, walls relating to officers’ quarters and a smithy were revealed. Sayes Court was the home of the diarist and horticulturalist John Evelyn (1620– 1706). Traces of an early building were found below the ground plan of a probable 18th-century building on the site of Sayes Court. Garden walls could be more confidently reconciled with map evidence of Evelyn’s home, although no trace of his famous gardens was identified. The early Georgian period (1714–74) saw a major rebuilding of the Dockyard that expanded beyond its previous perimeter. The Tudor Storehouse was incorporated into a new, unified storehouse complex and the smithy was reconstructed. The Dockyard Basin largely rebuilt in this and the succeeding late Georgian to Victorian period (1774–1869). Ship building technology developed in the 18th and 19th centuries, until ultimately the slipways on the site became vast structures of brick, concrete and timber after 1844. Three such structures were excavated on the site CVF10 post-ex assessment report MOLA together with the foundations of their cover buildings, of which the Grade II listed Olympia building is an example, built in 1844–46. The Dockyard Basin gate and canal linking it to the river were replaced in stone and brick to a design by John Rennie (1761–1821). The Double Dock in the east of the site was rebuilt in 1839–41. The Dockyard declined from the mid-19th century and closed in 1869, becoming a cattle market a few years later. To date post-excavation work has identified the potential and significance (Sections 6 and 7) of the archive to add to the knowledge of this area of London, in the periods discussed above. This assessment describes how the information generated by the site could ultimately be integrated into detailed studies, along with documentary, cartographic and pictorial sources. Information from relevant sites in Britain and abroad can be tied in closely with evidence from specific periods on site. In order to achieve this, the stratigraphic, finds and environmental archive will be refined through analysis (Section 9). This will clarify the site sequence to help answer research questions (set out in Section 8.1). It is proposed that the results of the excavation are disseminated in three ways: through a MOLA monograph focussing on the post-medieval Dockyard; by a short article on the prehistoric and Roman discoveries; and via blogging / social media during the analysis and writing phases of these publications to build links with other researchers and interested parties (Section 8.2). Finally, the intention of the project is to create an archive that provides a sustainable framework for future research. To this end the archive will be placed in the London Archaeological Archive and Research Centre (LAARC) adding to the significant body of data available there for further synthetic, integrated and thematic research.

The report was commissioned from MOLA by Convoys Investment S.A.R.L.. Following the recommendations of the archaeological consultant CgMs in consultation with the London Borough of Lewisham and English Heritage, 52 evaluation trenches were excavated. Boreholes and trial pits excavated by a geotechnical contractor were also monitored. The results of the field evaluation have helped to refine the initial assessment of the archaeological potential of the site. Three main areas have been identified as particularly important: the area of the Great Dock near the east boundary of the site; the footprint of the Grade II listed Olympia building where the evaluation demonstrated that stone slipways survive; and the area of the early 16th century Tudor storehouse, a scheduled ancient monument. Other structures identified during the evaluation included: the large mast pond and the small mast pond in the west of the site; the dockyard basin; multiphase buildings; the remains of the 18th century dockyard wall; and other slipways.

ABSTRACT This thesis sets out to investigate gardens, gardeners and gardening practices in early modern England, from the mid-sixteenth century when the first horticultural manuals appeared in the English language dedicated solely to the ‘Arte’ of gardening, spanning the following century to its establishment as a subject worthy of scientific and intellectual debate by the Royal Society and a leisure pursuit worthy of the genteel. The inherently ephemeral nature of the activity of gardening has resulted thus far in this important aspect of cultural life being often overlooked by historians, but detailed examination of the early gardening manuals together with evidence gleaned from contemporary gentry manuscript collections, maps, plans and drawings has provided rare insight into both the practicalities of gardening during this period as well as into the aspirations of the early modern gardener.

By looking through the lens of an early eighteenth century French garden design treatise, we can trace their rise to popularity during the second half of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century to their gradual decline as a garden feature during the second half of the eighteenth century.

  • WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II Warfare Officers Career Handbook
    WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Warfare O fficers C areer H andbook IV WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Foreword The Warfare Officers Career Handbook provides information for members of the Royal Australian Navy’s Warfare community. For the purposes of this handbook, the Warfare community is deemed to include all officers of the Seaman, Pilot and Observer Primary Qualifications. The Warfare Officer Community symbiotically contains personnel from the seaman, Submarine, Aviation, Hydrographic and Meteorological, Mine Clearance Diving and Naval Communications and Intelligence groups. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook is a source document for Warfare Officers to consult as they progress through their careers. It is intended to inform and stimulate consideration of career issues and to provide a coherent guide that articulates Navy’s requirements and expectations. The book provides a summary of the Warfare branch specialisations and the sub-specialisations that are embedded within them, leading in due course to entry into the Charge Program and the Command opportunities that follow. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook also describes the historical derivation of current warfare streams to provide contemporary relevance and the cultural background within which maritime warfare duties are conducted. It discusses the national context in which Warfare Officers discharge their duties. Leadership and ethical matters are explored, as is the inter-relationship between personal attributes, values, leadership, performance and sense of purpose. There is no intention that this handbook replicate or replace extant policy and procedural guidelines. Rather, the handbook focuses on the enduring features of maritime warfare. Policy by its nature is transient. Therefore, as far as possible, the Warfare Officers Career Handbook deals with broad principles and not more narrowly defined policies that rightly belong in other documents.

Moloney 2015 Abstract Investigation into underwater archaeology began, inevitably, with the investigation of shipwrecks. For decades whole divisions of our discipline have focused on studying the intricate characteristics and mechanisms involved in the propulsion, construction, and manipulation of ships themselves (e.g. nautical archaeology). However, as Mortimer Wheeler noted, “the archaeologist is digging up, not things, but people” (Wheeler 1954: 13), so how do we extract information about those crewing these ships from shipwrecks? In this study I examine the spatial organization of ships in an effort to reconstruct the social dynamics of shipboard society.
