Abstract
Although the Borough of Lambeth is a modern creation, human activity there reaches back to the Ice Ages. Since then the ebb and flow of people and events has endowed Lambeth with its rich and varied heritage. Archaeologists have dug in numerous places across the borough, unearthing the evidence for Lambeth’s lost past, making exciting and informative finds to bring the past alive.
