From Ice Age to Essex A History of the People And Landscape of East London

"From Ice Age to Essex is a short history of human habitation in East London, based on archaeological findings made at gravel quarries. To find the beginning of this story we have to go back half a million years, to the time when advancing ice sheets pushed the Thames southwards to its present course, depositing river gravels across East London. These gravels have a huge commercial value and quarrying has evolved from ancient diggings to the modern aggregates industry."--BOOK JACKET.Greenwood, Pamela is the author of 'From Ice Age to Essex A History of the People And Landscape of East London' with ISBN 9781901992618 and ISBN 1901992616.
