The Walbrook site (WAO06), was memorable for a number of things: foremost amongst these being decent archaeology and a fantastic good humoured team. Coincidentally, the group included the largest contingent of Italian archaeologists I had worked with on a single site in London, and this photo was an attempt to gather them together in one place – although in truth they were rarely far apart due to a natural herding instinct!

Photos from the DUA Annual Review 1989

Caption: ‘The waterfront timbers were removed after detailed recording both on plans and by elevation drawings. Slices of the timbers were taken to provide dating information through the science of dendrochronology (tree-ring dating)

Caption: ‘Working conditions under the vaults of the railway viaduct were at times very difficult. The problems of excavating under artificial lighting were compounded by fumes from various machines, rising ground water and complex shoring requirements.’
