Two decades of digging reveal thousands of years of Thames history
In short: Explore how nearly 20 years of volunteer-led archaeological work along the Greenwich foreshore has unearthed a continuous record of human activity stretching from prehistory to the present.
Nathalie Cohen FSA details the significance of the Thames intertidal zone, where archaeological investigations have identified a multi-period site. The findings represent human presence and activity spanning from the Mesolithic period through to the modern day.
This research highlights the vital role of volunteer teams in preserving cultural heritage. The lecture is part of Gresham College's long-standing tradition of providing free public education, a practice dating back to 1597.
