Rockingham Peat

Streets around the Anomaly

Work made with earth pigments made from the collected peat from the Rockingham Street Anomaly. An area of peat described as a scour hollow which formed in a cold period was researched in collaboration with the London Geodiversity Partnership. Samples of peat were collected from down to a 2 metre depth with a manual auger from a low point in a fenced park area between two council blocks on the Rockingham Estate, London, SE1.  A Geoarchaeological Evaluation can be read at : Rockingham Anomaly
