    In 1995 the author conducted an archaeological survey within a 296 km2 region in eastern county Donegal, Ireland, which resulted in an investigation of the transition from Ireland's Mesolithic to the Neolithic from a regional-scale perspective in a part of Ireland with no history of systematic field collections. A hypothesis for settlement, raw material economy and subsistence during the Later Mesolithic and Neolithic is proposed.

    This study examines Bronze Age settlement patterns between c.2500 and 750 BC in the Welsh Marches region of Britain. The context of Early Bronze Age settlement is examined closely as a response to a general lack of evidence for settlement in this period.The concept of residential mobility in the Early Bronze Age is examined by assessing the degree of longevity apparent in the occupation of specific locations and the relationship between settlement and other activities in the landscape. The extent of change in the form and pattern of settlement, apparent in other regions of Britain from the mid-second millennium BC, is also examined in order to assess the degree of continuity and discontinuity in settlement patterns in the Welsh Marches during the BronzeAge. The study has highlighted the potential for continuity in settlement patterns during the Bronze Age and that changes in settlement form may not necessarily reflect widespread settlement dislocation. It has been suggested that residential mobility may have existed in the early to mid-second millennium BC, but that this does not necessarily reflect a wholly transient pattern of residency. The study has served to clarify the context of Bronze Age settlement in the region, but also emphasizes the need for further research and debate upon the subject.

    Isle of Wight County Archaeological Unit carried out an intertidal survey over 6km of downwarped coastline on the southern shore of the eastern Solent. The focal point was Wootton Creek, a drowned river valley which has provided a haven for human activity since at least Mesolithic times. The intertidal study revealed some 180 sites and structures amongst which the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Roman, Saxon and medieval periods were particularly well represented. Outstanding features were the wooden trackways, post alignments and fish-traps of Neolithic and later date. Trees entombed in Neolithic peat produced one of the most rewarding dendrochronologies currently obtained in southern England whilst the incidence of flint picks and lithic scatterswas also notable.

    Extensive study of the results of field-walking and excavation at Beer Head in South Devon. The aims were to determine the nature and extent of prehistoric stone working around the headland and to try to suggest the scale of flint importation and thus gauge the importance of Beer head to prehistoric communities of the south-west peninsula.

    Keegan's analysis, a dissertation, of the ways in which the Roman emphasis on gender roles affected the burial of both sexes is based on data from four cemeteries which were all in use during the late 3rd and 4th centuries AD: Lankhills cemetery in Winchester, Butt Road cemetery in Colchester, Poundbury cemetery in Dorchester and Bath Gate ...

    As McEwan argues, the past is well suited to manipulation and can be used to uphold particular ideologies, for example those dictated by the state.

  • af Leigh Andrea Symonds
    1.128,95 kr.

    The reconstruction of ancient landscapes is not just about physical entities, but also about conceptual ones. Based on her PhD dissertation, Symonds examines how material culture can be used to reflect on landscape and social practice, taking pottery production in 10th-century Lincolnshire as her case study.

    A detailed examination of the tenurial evidence and physical structure of the castles, moated sites and ditched enclosures of the Lancashire hundred of West Derby. Lewis examines the status and distribution of moated sites, changes in landuse before and after the Conquest and the social and economic context of the sites.

    Large numbers of artificial islets' (small man-made islands) from the prehistoric and medieval periods, occur throughout Scotland and although this study focuses primarily on those from the Central Inner Hebrides, they are compared and contrasted with those in other areas.

    Contrary to popular belief, evidence of prehistoric economic activities is notoriously difficult to identify and interpret successfully.This book traces the development of prehistoric societies throughout mainland Britain with the aim of identifying the economic bases which supported them.It is a fresh study primarily utilising the growing body of data from the field of environmental science.Its aim is to question existing theories and to formulate new statements concerning the nature and development of the subsistence bases of past societies.In doing this it reanalyses accepted sequences in prehistory. The book covers a considerable time scale, from the fifth through to the first millennia BC, and a large geographical expanse. The research shows that agriculture, as it is viewed today, will have played a peripheral role in the formation of the prehistoric landscape until more recent times.In this respect the 'Neolithic economy', as traditionally defined, perhaps did not develop across Britain until several millennia following the actual Neolithic.What is clear from the study is a later date for the onset of an agricultural economy than has formerly been suggested.

    This two-volume, second and final part of this descriptive corpus of the Iron Age brochs and allied sites of Scotland covers the whole of the mainland and all of the western islands - the Inner and Outer Hebrides - and is about twice the size of volume 1. The amount of new data presented here is very much larger than in volume 1 (Orkney and Shetland), partly because there are many more sites to describe but mainly for the reason that - with the exception of the Outer Hebrides - the large number and variety of sites in the areas covered tend to be much less well known than those of the Northern Isles; very few sites in this vast area have been subjected to modern excavation. The main purpose of this work is to present in easily accessible form a much larger proportion of the archaeological evidence for the remarkable Scottish Atlantic Iron Age structures known as brochs and wheelhouses than is currently conveniently available.Another hope is that this compendium will encourage many more archaeologists from outside Scotland to take an interest in the subject, and in particular to bring the material to the attention of their students. This volume is part of a two volume set: ISBN 9781407301334 (Volume I); ISBN 9781407301341 (Volume II); ISBN 9781407301327 (Set of both volumes).
