The cemetery was most extensive in  the early third century, and indicates that construction of  high-status mausolea and other burial structures extended about  half a kilometre down Watling Street from the boundary of the  settlement. The arrangement of the structures and lack of  intercutting burials suggest that the cemetery held private plots  used by wealthy families for extended periods of time. One of the  burials contained the cremated remains of a female, with at least  nine pottery tazze, eight pottery lamps with images of Anubis and  a gladiator, and an exceptional array of plant remains, many  imported from the Mediterranean, including stone pine, white  almond and the first occurrence in London of date fruit.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49507735601425,"sku":"GOR003269747","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52834594029841,"sku":"GOR001983193","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/190199211X.jpg?v=1750834465"},{"product_id":"bankside-book-anthony-mackinder-9781901992120","title":"Bankside","description":"The multi-period site of Benbow House lies next to the Thames,  and is a fine example of the multifarious and colourful  activities that took place in London over the centuries. The  earliest extant evidence of human activity within the excavation  area was an attempt at land consolidation in the 12th or 13th  century. This was followed by three periods of building from the  13th century onwards. Nine or ten buildings can be dated to the  13th and 14th centuries, and probably included the remains of  'stews' - inns or brothels known from documentary sources.  Further buildings were constructed in the 16th and 17th  centuries, including a possible animal-baiting arena. The final  phase of the excavated evidence included the remains of 18th- and  19th-century brick buildings reflecting the later use of the site  as a foundry and metalworks.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49550424965393,"sku":"GOR001984841","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1901992128.jpg?v=1750769434"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-anthony-mackinder.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
