The road improvements around the inner ring road of Derby (East Midlands, England) have led to the archaeological investigation of a number of sites over the past five years. These sites have included remains from the prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods, although the majority of the remains have related to the last 900 years. The work has allowed a picture of the development of the western side of Derby to be built up over the course of its evolution. In many respects the non-selectiverandom nature of the development has allowed disparate sites in location, function and chronology to be examined in the same project in a way that would not have been achieved by targeted research led investigation. This has allowed a broad picture of the area to emerge that may suggest patterns in the development of the city suburbs.

The subject of this research is social change in Roman Britain in the Late Iron Age and the Romano-British period. Evidence from the Middle and Upper Ouse Valley is examined from the perspective of identity, a subject in which there is currently muchinterest amongst archaeologists. Identity emphasises the diversity of experience of both individuals and communities, and therefore spheres of life that might reveal continuation, discontinuity, or change in identity, are examined. The aim is to discover howLate Iron Age communities saw themselves, how they constructed their identity, and how this was transformed (if at all) with the coming of Rome. A second theme is that of population groups and their boundaries. Both aspects are examined using a landscapeapproach, drawing on the large corpora of data now available in Sites and Monuments Record Offices, excavation reports and archaeological journals.

This volume presents the methodology and results for the excavations at Cairnderry and Bargrennan, south-west Scotland. A comparative chapter compares the excavation results from both sites, and presents interpretations of these results, particularly in terms of the architecture and the early Bronze Age mortuary practices. Chapter 5 considers the architecture of Cairnderry and Bargrennan in terms of wider trends in the construction of chambered cairns throughout the British Isles and throughout the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. Chapter 6 places the early Bronze Age activity at Cairnderry and Bargrennan within a local context by examining mortuary practices across Dumfries and Galloway. It focuses on comparisons with other sites where cremated bones were deposited and cinerary urns used and/or sites where cairns were constructed or re-used in the early Bronze Age. Chapter 7 provides a summary of conclusions as to the finds and revisits the problem of dating Bargrennan chambered cairns, before suggesting avenues for future research in Galloway. The appendices draw together the specialists reports on finds from the excavations (including a substantial contextualisation of some of the early Bronze Age artefacts), context descriptions and radiocarbon dating results.

A comprehensive study of the defences of prehistoric hillforts in southern Britain. The first volume examines the various forms and construction of ramparts and entrances, the dating of hillforts and their associated pottery, and the military and economic background to hillfort use in prehistory. Volume two presents the evidence from almost 150 individual sites excavated up to 1979, whilst the final volume contains appendices with results from excavations at Maiden Castle, Dorset, evidence from radiocarbon dating, and figures and illustrations. This volume is part of a three volume set: ISBN 9780860547532 (Volume I); ISBN 9780860547549 (Volume II); ISBN 9780860547556 (Volume III); ISBN 9780860547525 (Volume set).

Wilcote lies on Akeman Street between Alchester and Asthall. This volume reports on a series of excavations by A R Hands and Cotswold Archaeology that investigated the settlement that developed around the road between the later 1st century and the mid 2nd century, reviving for a short duration in the early 4th century.

This report describes the excavation of the South Transept of the church of the Cistercian Abbey of Bordesley, Redditch, Worcestershire, in the parish of Tardebigge (Dickins 1931, Price 1971). The stratigraphical and structural sequence of the transept is discussed fro m the builders' levels of the years following c. 1140 to the dissolution of the Abbey in 1538. Three main periods of building have been de monstrated, of c.1140, c.1200 and c.1300. After this there Is evidence of declining standards of flooring and building, including the repeated raising of floor levels, apparently in response to severe flooding. Graves were found in the transept and in the central side-chapel; wood and stone coffins were found, the for mer in good preservation. Other finds include pottery, glass, metal, and floor and roof tiles, as well as carved stone.

This seventh volume of The Archaeology of the Clay Tobacco Pipe must be seen as a sequel to the sixth. Both deal with kilns, kiln sites, and related technical matters. Number 6 was confined to the London area. Number 7 ranges further afield.

This published version of my thesis includes neither the Gazetteer of stray finds in England and Wales nor the Corpus of Tilustrations, which formed volumes II and IV respectively of the original work. It has proved possible to undertake only limited revision of the text and Corpus of Associations for the present publication. The original version of my thesis may be consulted in the library of University College, Cardiff.
