Librarian, receives a painting of Castle Arch from the President, Audrey Monk. M A M M O T H T U S K F R O M F A R N H A M D a v i d G r a h a m The manager of the Hanson sandpit at Badshot Lea, just east of Farnham, has recently reported the discovery of a well-preserved mammoth tusk to the town museum. Finds of mammoth tusks, teeth and bones, and the teeth of woolly rhino and of other extinct species that bear witness to a cold climate are, or were, quite common from the river gravels of Terrace D, one of a series of terraces long recognised in this part of the Wey vailey. These gravels survive in parallel strips lying either side of the River Wey and form the ground on which Farnham is built to the north of the river. The southern part of the terrace was extensively quarried in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when quantities of mammoth and woolly rhino remains were recovered and reported in the 1939 SyAS publication A Survey of the Prehistory of the Farnham District. M a m m o t h t u s k f r o m B a d s h o t L e a While most of the gravels are now built over, they do extend some distance to the n o r t h - e a s t a n d s o u t h - w e s t o f t h e u r b a n a r e a a n d i t i s f r o m t h i s e x t e n s i o n t h a t t h e latest find has come. While the date of the latest tusk is still uncertain, a similar find from the Alton Road pit to the south-west of the town in the 1980s, was radiocarbon dated to 36,600 +/- 2400/1 BOObp (though a TL date was somewhat earlier). While further finds are by no means unlikely, the majority of the terrace gravels are now inaccessible and perhaps the great days of mammoth and woolly rhino hunting i n F a r n h a m a r e o v e r . 2 COUNCIL NEWS AGM NOTICE is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting of the Surrey Archaeological Society will be held at 2pm on Saturday 26th November 2005 at Garew Manor School, Church Road, Wallington. Agenda for the Annual General Meeting 1. Apologies for absence. 2. To read, and if approved, to sign as correct the Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of 20th November 2004. 3. To receive and consider the Annual Report, the Statement of Accounts, and the Auditors' Report for the year to 31st March 2005 and, if approved, to adopt them. 4. To elect the President for 2005-2006. 5. To elect Honorary Vice-Presidents for 2005-2006. 6. To elect Vice-Presidents for 2005-2006. 7. To elect Honorary Officers for 2005-2006. 8. To elect six Ordinary Members of Council to retire in 2009 under Article 21a. 9. To appoint Auditors for 2005-2006 and to authorise Council to determine t h e i r r e m u n e r a t i o n . 10. Any other business. (NOTE: Nominations should be sent to the Honorary Secretary not less than seven days before the meeting. Nominees under Item 8 should be ordinary members of the Incorporated Society and their nominations must be accompanied by a signed statement by the nominee of his or her willingness to stand for election. All nominations require a Proposer and Seconder, who must be members of the Incorporated Society. Institutional Members are not eligible for election to Council). JULY 2005 COUNCIL MEETING The meeting of Council at Ashtead on 15th July 2005 was more than usually important. The main item on the agenda was the future management of the Society's substantial investments, which provide the major part of its income. The firm that previously managed the Society's portfolio had given notice that it could no longer do so and papers before Council set out an Investment Policy for the Society and made proposals for the appointment of a new manager. The aim is to ensure that the investments continue to provide the income required whilst at the same time, subject to the market, showing capital growth. These are issues vital for the future of the Society and Council approved a proposal that the bulk of the investments should in future be managed by the Charity Investment Services Division of the HSBC Bank. The Society may, however, in the not too distant future be faced with the need for major capital expenditure on new accommodation for its library and offices, whether at Guildford or elsewhere. The balance of the investments will therefore be deposited in an account with the Charity Aid Foundation from which funds can be withdrawn, if required, at short notice. Before these issues were discussed the President opened the meeting by recording, with regret, the death of Ernest Crossland, a long-standing Honorary Member of the Society, and the sudden and tragic death of Chris Currie, an archaeologist with whom members of the Society have worked on a number of projects. On a happier note, Gillian Drew, the Honorary Librarian who is resigning following her marriage, was presented with a cheque, with the good wishes of Council for her future (see front page photo). 4 The Honorary Treasurer presented the draft annual accounts for 2004/5. In this connection the Honorary Secretary reported that the Society's AGM, to which all members of the Society are invited, will be held at the Carew Manor School, Wallington on 26th November 2005. Further details will be given in a future Bulletin report. Various other matters were discussed during a lengthy meeting, including a report on the very successful events marking the 150th anniversary. The present membership of the Society was reported as 946. N E W M E M B E R S S u s a n J a n a w a y A warm welcome to our new members. I have again included principal archaeological interests where they have been given on the membership application form. I hope this will be useful for the Society's Local Secretaries and Committee Chairmen. Allen, Miss 5 68 Pollards Oak Orescent, Everything!

Charter Quay, Kingston ... excavations and other archaeological w o r k 1 9 9 8 - 9 Introduction Redevelopment of a 1.65 ha site in Kingston provided a rare opportunity for large- scale excavations by Wessex Archaeology within the core of the medieval town, funded by St George West London Ltd. Earlier fieldwork between 1988 and 1990 both north and south of the Hogsmill River had revealed several medieval waterfront revetments, and a c 0.55 ha excavation south of Emms Passage between the High Street and the Thames waterfront provided evidence of industrial, commercial and domestic activity, and phases of flooding and reclamation. More recent excavations in late 1998 examined a large area south of the Hogsmill River (Trenches 1 and 2) with limited trial work north of it. After Emms Passage was closed, two further areas were investigated in January 1999 immediately adjacent to Trenches 1 and 2, and a watching brief was undertaken during the basementing for a car park south of the Hogsmill River. The latest excavations from March to June 1999 were restricted to land north of the Hogsmill River and began with two more trial trenches and a small excavation undertaken during demolition.

The cost of running Surrey History Centre is met within the Library and Cultural Services Department and the proposed cut in the annual budget for the whole department from £8.7m to £4.0m would, if implemented, have a dramatic effect on every aspect including Surrey History Centre. Many of us work with or make use of the Surrey County Council services under review and know the quality of the staff and how greatly research by ourselves and others will be affected if the proposed cuts go ahead. It would be a sad state of affairs if a county such as our own cannot adequately provide services such as these that enhance the quality of life and sense of place for all our residents and visitors. Please take the time to read the details of the consultation and, if you are willing, use link below to respond: www.surreysays.co.uk/legal-and-democratic-services/libraries The further link to the on-line consultation is at the bottom of the ‘Have your say’ page you first reach. You will find several questions are about libraries but the write-in spaces in sections 2.1 and 4.3 give you the chance to say what you think about Heritage.
