                             4,000-year-old axe among Olympic Park archaeology finds






05 Mar 2009
By Will Mann
 



A flint axe over 4,000 years old (pictured) was the highlight of a crop of discoveries during a two-year archaeological investigation into the past of the Olympic Park.


Over 140 trenches were dug on the 2.5km2 Olympic Park in the UK’s largest ever archaeological investigation.

Other finds include four prehistoric skeletons buried in graves around an Iron Age settlement, a Roman coin, Roman river walls, medieval and Neolithic pottery, Second World War gun emplacements, and a complete 19th century boat used for hunting wild fowl on the lower River Lea.

The project, organised by the Olympic Delivery Authority and the Museum of London, marked a year of events yesterday with a public talk for Hackney residents.
