MOLAS: Royal Opera House 1996 Excavations
Abstract
The large-scale excavation at the site of the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, Greater London, was undertaken by the Museum of London Archaeology Service in 1966. The site covered part of the Middle Saxon trading port of Lundenwic which was discovered in London's West End in the mid-1980s. The excavations added greatly to the understanding of this settlement. The archive currently contains texts, comma delimited text files suitable for importing into a database and GIS data. It provides artefact, ecofact and context information. Low-level interpretive groupings of contexts are described and illustrated as part of a GIS- Dataset Collection
