The various objects listed below were found in the course of commercial digging for sand and gravel in the large pit about half-way between Rainham and Up-minister in Essex (see figs, 1 and 2), on the opposite side of the road to Gerpins Farm. In 1937 Mr. George Carter, a local Public Health official, heard that archaeological finds were being made, and purchased a number of objects from the workmen. He brought these to the attention of Mr. (now Sir Thomas) Kendrick at the British Museum, who identified the objects and arranged for an exhibition of the collection at the Museum. At this time, too, Sir Thomas took photographs, some of which are published here. It is solely to this prompt and accurate recording that we owe our knowledge of the Bronze Age beaker and the gold coin pendant, for these are now missing. Mr. Carter presented the collection to the Borough of Dagenham, to be kept in the museum of local history being assembled at Valence House. There is no record of the gold pendant ever being housed there, however, and the present Librarian, Mr. J. O';Leary, has no knowledge of it. The Bronze Age beaker was stolen. The collection is otherwise intact, with the exception of a certain amount of deterioration in the condition of some of the iron objects.
