- W2904458231 abstract "London was the administrative centre for and largest city in Roman Britain. After centuries ofexcavation, Londinium is one of the best understood cities in the Empire. London is also hometo one of the most exceptional collections of craft and agricultural tools in the Roman world.These objects represent a wide range of practices, including woodwork, metalwork,leatherwork, masonry, agriculture, and animal husbandry. Due to excellent preservation inwaterlogged contexts, many are in exceptional condition.This thesis brings together c.837 metal (mostly iron) tools from multiple collections, many ofwhich have not been published before. Using a combination of detailed typological study andtheoretical perspectives on technology and practice, this thesis provides an innovative insightinto society and economy amongst the working people of a Roman city; a diverse population oflocals, immigrants, specialists and amateurs.A typological discussion identifies these usually neglected objects with reference to French andGerman literature, highlighting new types for the first time in Britain, and demonstrating a closeconnection to Continental working practices. These artefacts are then used as the basis for adiscussion of craft and agricultural practice in London, focussing on how tools were made, usedand discarded. Tools are synthesised with evidence from finished objects, waste, tool marks,structures, epigraphy, iconography and classical sources. This discussion reveals that craftpractices were highly specialised, with numerous distinct professions which cannot beaccurately condensed to ‘woodworking’ or ‘leatherworking’. Tools were used in workingpractices which shaped peoples’ lives; either limiting their opportunities of social mobility orproviding avenues to express pride in their work. Several industries were controlled in part bythe state, or by Roman citizens. Finally, a detailed contextual analysis reveals high levels ofmetalwork consumption, with deposition in the Walbrook valley largely reflecting rubbishdisposal, and not ritual activity." @default.
