  • A Salt-Panning Site at Funton Creek
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society A SALT-PANNING SITE AT FUNTON CREEK A.P. DETSICAS, M.A., F.S.A. THE SITE The site at Funton Creek (Fig. 2, no. 1; N.G.R. TO 883683), on the very edge of a narrow road skirting the marshes from Lower Halstow towards KIngsferry, was first noticed by Mr W.A. Knowles who was at the time participating in the excavations at the Eccles site. Erosion of the foreshore had exposed several pockets of burnt material and other debris, particularly at low tide, which required investigation. Accordingly, a small-scale rescue excavation was carried out in mid-August 1963, with the aim of recording the surviving evidence. I am grateful to those members of the Lower Medway Archaeological Research Group, and in particular Messrs. D. Bartram, I.J. Bissett, P. Dives and A.C. Harrison, B.A., F.S.A., who assisted in this work under very arduous conditions, and to Mr. E.R. Swain, for drawing the pottery. THE EXCAVATION Initially, two small trenches were laid out slightly to south of the eroded shore-line (Fig. 1, A and B) and excavated to a depth varying from 5 to 6 ft. Trench A was found to contain alternating layers of brown sandy soil and grey clay deposited on yellow clay below which was exposed a thick layer of black ash resulting from the burning of wood; no other evidence was found within this trench. Trench B contained the same layers as Trench A but, at a depth of 2 ft.

For this reason, the Thames, Medway and Swale estuaries and marshes comprise of three Special Protection Areas (SPAs). All of these are also listed as Ramsar sites due to the international significance of the wetland habitats. Significant development is planned for north Kent with growing demand for new homes to accommodate the increasing population in the administrative areas of Canterbury, Dartford, Gravesham, Medway and Swale. With additional homes, the number of recreational visitors to the coastal areas will increase. Research has shown that the increasing numbers of visitors will have a negative impact on designated bird species. A strategic approach is required to deliver measures to mitigate any disturbance to birds caused by increased recreational activity. The

  • Upchurch and Thameside Pottery
    To Contents page CHAPTER TVO PRODUCTION SITES Pollard has identified a ceramic style zone which embraces a strip of southern Essex as well as the northern half of Kent for the period in question (1982a, 252). This zone is principally one of ceramic use. Within it can be identified at least four smaller areas which possess distinct individuality in their ceramic production, although each has degree of overlap with the next. Upchurch. The name is retained for historical reasons and embraces all pottery production in and around the Medway estuary. Thameside Kent. All pottery manufacturing sites north of the ridge of the Hoo peninsula and east of Gravesend. It includes the marshland along the Kentish side of the Thames and its hinterland. West Kent. The remainder of north Kent, west of Gravesend on the Thames, West of Watling Street on the Medway. It embraces an apparently structureless pattern of largely unrelated kilns. Those sites which are not adequately published already yield too little evidence for detailed research. Thameside Essex. The narrow riverside strip running from Thurrock to Wakering. This area is only considered in passing as the bulk of available material is already being processed by others. Upchurch and Thameside Kent form the major areas of study. Collectively they are referred to as 'north Kent'. The term 'Thameside' is used on its own to signify the production in Thameside Kent plus that in a similar tradition taking place in Thameside Essex. The term 'Essex' refers to styles being produced in traditions peculiar to the northern bank of the Thames. One could further sub-divide the above zones, but this would not be realistic given the current level of knowledge.

  • 5.0 Regional Evaluation of the Study Area. Case Study I: Kent 5.1 Introduction
    5.0 Regional Evaluation of the Study Area. Case Study I: Kent 5.1 Introduction The previous two chapters (3.0-4.0) have provided a general overview of the archaeological evidence for salt-production within the study area. The following two chapters allow for a more detailed overview into two of the four 'key areas of activity': Kent and Somerset (Figure 10.3.1). Although Dorset and Hampshire are also key areas of activity, discussion is limited by a lack of well-preserved and recorded archaeological evidence attributable to salt-production. Therefore, these areas will be discussed in the wider context of the study area in 7.0. These more detailed regional evaluations rely upon different sources of data, which results in the regional evaluations being presented differently. The overview for Kent (5.0) has been formulated exclusively from the original research dataset. The overview of Somerset (6.0) is based upon two sources of data: the original research dataset and the new data generated from fieldwork (main focus). As outlined in 1.7.5, Kent is particularly rich in Iron Age and Romano-British archaeology (Williams 2007). It has an impressive length of coastline ranging between the famous cliffs of Dover which dominate the central southern coast and the low-lying areas of Romney Marsh, the Medway Estuary and North Kent. These low-lying areas provided ideal environs for salt-production. Kent by far, has the highest quality of archaeological remains for salt-production in the study area, with a high quantity of sites (89/276 sites: Figure 10.3.2).

Over 90% of the pottery by sherd count was recovered from Area A. Just 8% was collected from Area B, while Areas B North, C, D and the watching brief area contained minor quantities only (Table 2.1). Roman-period fabrics were identified using the series devised by the Essex County Council Field Archaeology Unit (ECC FAU), ensuring compatibility with other major Essex sites. Quantification of fabrics encountered at the site is presented in Table 2.2. Detailed fabric descriptions have not been provided, but where possible reference has been made to the National Roman Fabric Reference Collection handbook (NRFRC; Tomber and Dore 1998), where comprehensive descriptions can be found. Fabric descriptions may also be found in the Chelmsford corpus (Going 1987). Form identification follows Going’s Chelmsford typology (1987, 13-54), supplemented by the Camulodunum series (Hawkes and Hull 1947; Hull 1967; Bidwell and Croom 1999, 468-487).

  • Existing Ruddy Shelduck Records
    RUDDY SHELDUCK Tadorna ferruginea is a rare vagrant to north-west Europe, whose status has been clouded by escapes and an increasing European feral population. The BOURC are reviewing the status of Ruddy Shelduck on the British List. The species is currently in Categories B, D, and E of the British List but is potentially also occurring in Britain as a vagrant from established naturalised populations on the near continent and is therefore a candidate for Category C5 (vagrant naturalised species from outside Britain). Below is an extract from available literature and the KOS records database. Please take the time to review your own records, and if they are not listed here, or if you provide more detail, please submit to the County Recorder, Barry Wright ([email protected]), to include location, first/last date, number of birds, observers, and any other relevant information, at your earliest convenience. There have also been records of related species, such as South African or Cape Shelduck, and hybrids. A list of these records is provided after the Ruddy Shelduck details. The current Kent records of Ruddy Shelduck are as follows - 1885 Newenden, single duck, obtained on an unknown date during April. ca. One shot, exact date and location unknown. 1900 1943 North Kent marshes, duck, shot, 17th August 1950 Cliffe Pools, drake, shot, 30th April for a month. 1967 Swanscombe, adult duck, 28th April; later seen at Chetney, Stoke and High Halstow, until 22nd May. 1973 Lower Hope Point, single bird, 20th February.
