Описание: This volume brings together the results from the excavations at the former Imperial College Sports Ground, RMC Land and Land East of Wall Garden Farm, near the villages of Harlington and Sipson in the London Borough of Hillingdon. The excavations revealed parts of an archaeological landscape with a rich history of development from before 4000 BC to the post-medieval period. The opportunity to investigate two large areas of this landscape provided evidence for possible settlement continuity and shift over a period of 6000 years. Early to Middle Neolithic occupation was represented by a rectangular ditched mortuary enclosure and a large spread of pits, many containing deposits of Peterborough Ware pottery, flint and charred plant remains. A possible dispersed monument complex of three hengiform enclosures was associated with the rare remains of cremation burials radiocarbon dated to the Middle Neolithic. Limited Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age activity was identified, which is in stark contrast to the Middle to Late Bronze Age when a formalised landscape of extensive rectangular fields, enclosures, wells and pits was established. This major reorganised land division can be traced across the two sites and over large parts of the adjacent Heathrow terraces. A small, Iron Age and Romano-British nucleated settlement was constructed, with associated enclosures flanking a trackway. There were wayside inhumations, cremation burials and middens and more widely dispersed wells and quarries. Two possible sunken-featured buildings of early Saxon date were found. There was also a small cemetery. Subsequently, a middle Saxon and medieval field system of small enclosures and wells was established.

Cooper Ryland is second mate on the cargo ship, Marjorie Harlington, in Avonmouth loading for Bombay. He is surprised to learn that their ship owner, Sir Felix Harlington, will be sailing with them, bringing with him a party that includes his secretary and a chef, neither of whom are what they seem.
Sir Felix also brings valuable goods on board, including a painting with a black and tormented history. Ryland takes charge of two seemingly valuable cases which he puts under lock and key.
At the last-minute, their long-standing captain is replaced with the newly-promoted captain, Simon Winsly, a man of great ambition with a murky reputation. It is 1967 and trouble is brewing between Egypt and Israel, threatening their passage through the Suez Canal. A sense of unease is felt by the crew as they get underway.
Harlington Ocean Lines is a family-held concern with roots and connections going back to the time of the British Raj. Sir Felix is on a mission to end an ancient family feud, which sets a wealthy Indian family against his own. This provides the backdrop of mystery as dark deeds unfold.
Who was Marjorie Harlington, the woman after whom the ship is named? Why does no one in the Harlington family wish to discuss her? Where did she disappear to all those years ago and what has she got to do with the mysterious painting?
