Glorious Mud Treasures from the Thames THE GUILD OF ARTS SCHOLARS DEALERS AND COLLECTORS p r e s e n t t h e i r FOURTH ANNUAL LECTURE A lecture to be given by Dr Geoff Egan FSA of the British Museum at 6.30pm on Monday, October 25th, 2010 at Carpenters Hall Throgmorton Avenue, London EC2N 2JJ It was the Thames that created the City of London and it is the Thames that has preserved such a rich record of its long history. The glutinous mud, carried down to the capital from the shires for century after century, has created one of the worlds most important archaeological sites, preserving everything from national treasures like the Celtic Battersea Shield to the minutiae of everyday life. These objects range from the flint tools of the hunters in the post-glacial forests, through Roman coins and statues, beautiful medieval treasure and horrible cheap jewellery, via early toys, to evidence of Tudor dyers and dumps of medieval metal-working and glass waste from early-modern riverside industries. There are 19th century counterfeit coins, knuckle-dusters and ceramic pornography smashed by the Customs service... once cast aside, but preserved for posterity in that special mud. All human life is here. I n a s s o c i a t i o n w i t h Thames Lecture ordinary.indd 1 8/20/2010 10:20:55 AM Dr Geoff Egan, shown here giving a more than passable imitation of Old Father Thames himself, with a selection of the type of items regularly recovered from the river. Dr Egan is the Immediate Past Master of the Guild of Arts Scholars and the Medieval and Later National Finds Advisor for the Portable Antiquities Scheme at the British Museum. It was a visit to the banks of the Thames with his father that first sparked his interest in archaeology and during his career he has played a leading part in excavations at the waterfront in London and has published widely on the resulting finds. He is the perfect guide to the history of the City that lies beneath the river bed. I would like
