Book Description
Even those who live in Essex may be surprised by the richness of the county's prehistoric and Roman heritage, and the number of visible ancient monuments that can be readily seen, as detailed in this book. James Kemble takes the reader on a journey through the deep and rich past of the Essex landscape, using archaeology to uncover the hidden history. He includes aerial photography, fieldwalking, geophysics, metal-detecting, and visits to the many sites in Essex and south Suffolk to discover the ways in which the Romans, and those who came before them, left their mark on the county and surrounding area. This book, with its county maps, photographs, and detailed gazetteer of the sites and monuments, provides the visitor and historian with an accessible guide from which to conduct their own exploration of Essex.

Book Description
Excavations at Mucking, Essex, between 1965 and 1978, revealed extensive evidence for a multiphase rural Romano-British settlement, perhaps an estate center, and five associated cemetery areas (170 burials) with different burial areas reserved for different groups within the settlement. The settlement demonstrated clear continuity from the preceding Iron Age occupation with unbroken sequences of artefacts and enclosures through the first century AD, followed by rapid and extensive remodeling, which included the laying out a Central Enclosure and an organized water supply with wells, accompanied by the start of large-scale pottery production. After the mid-second century AD the Central Enclosure was largely abandoned and settlement shifted its focus more to the Southern Enclosure system with a gradual decline though the 3rd and 4th centuries although continued burial, pottery and artefactual deposition indicate that a form of settlement continued, possibly with some low-level pottery production. Some of the latest Roman pottery was strongly associated with the earliest Anglo-Saxon style pottery suggesting the existence of a terminal Roman settlement phase that essentially involved an ‘Anglo-Saxon’ community. Given recent revisions of the chronology for the early Anglo-Saxon period, this casts an intriguing light on the transition, with radical implications for understandings of this period. Each of the cemetery areas was in use for a considerable length of time. Taken as a whole, Mucking was very much a componented place/complex; it was its respective parts that fostered its many cemeteries, whose diverse rites reflect the variability and roles of the settlement’s evidently varied inhabitants.
