Founded in 1979 as the Wessex Archaeological Committee, its name changed in 1983 to the Trust for Wessex Archaeology. It was one of the first rescue archaeology units in the country, focusing on the numerous sites in and around Salisbury Plain. In 2005, it was renamed Wessex Archaeology Limited, trading as “Wessex Archaeology”.

Mesolithic flint scatters, a butchered semi-articulated Bos skeleton, sporadic Neolithic activity and a Beaker burial associated with 18 barb-and-tanged arrowheads were found on a terrace of the River Thames on the outskirts of Reading.
Presenting the results of field surveys undertaken in 1976/77 & 1982-7 by Berkshire Archaeological Unit, and Wessex Archaeology in 1988/9, this volume reviews all chapters of occupation across the valley zones, and includes some discussion of methods put into practice on the project.
