Thanks to Blair Oliver, editor of the  Fort Collins-based Front Range Review, who accepted “Mudlarking on the Thames” for a 2018 issue.  And thanks to my friend, the artist Marina Brownlow, for introducing me to the practice of mudlarking on the Thames.  Artists and archaeologically inclined persons take advantage of the river’s huge tidal range to discover what might have dropped into the river’s anaerobic mud in London’s 2,000 year history.
