Abstract
Anniversary address Society of Antiquaries 1975
Nowell N L Myres
1 - 10
Includes mention of the problems confronting learned societies in general, and analyses the present controversies surrounding professionalism in archaeology.
A silver trumpet-brooch with relief decoration, parcel-gilt, from Carmarthen, and a note on the development of the type
George C Boon
Hubert N Savory
41 - 61
The Carmarthen brooch, datable not later than c AD 50 and perhaps as carly as c 25 is a direct two-piece successor to the pre-Roman, one-piece Aylesford type, now known to be considerably later in date than used to be thought. The two-piece construction, which characterises the entire British trumpet-brooch series, was adopted when the bow was given a massive form to accommodate Late Celtic relief decoration. Developments from the Carmarthen brooch include Collingwood's Rii class and part of Ri, and a northern English group with enamel and exaggerated moulding became prominent. Polychrome examples of Antonine date are found along the Rhine. Au(abr)
A Roman Christian silver treasure from Biddulph, Staffordshire
Kenneth S Painter
62 - 69
A 4th-century silver spoon with Christian symbols is the survivor of a hoard, originally of four spoons, from Biddulph. Notes by A W Franks in 1886 identify the find spot as Whitemore Farm. Also discussed are the dating, place of manufacture, symbolism, and the significance of the find place for understanding the local Roman road system. Au(abr)
Pagan Saxon whetstones
Vera I Evison
70 - 85
Identifies the pagan period stones from a recent petrographical study (see abstract 69/542), illustrates them and comments on their archaeological contexts. Most of the stones used as hones were picked up locally, but there is a possibility of the export of Kentish Rag from Kent and greywackes from southern Scotland. A few have evident ritual connections. Au(abr)
Mitcham Surrey Grave 205 and the chronology of applied brooches with floriate cross decoration
Martin G Welch
86 - 95
Entries in the London Museum Catalogue indicate that the association in this grave of a carinated pedestal-based bowl with a pair of applied brooches and a bronze fragment almost certainly represents a valid closed find. It is argued that the brooches were made in early to mid-5th century, nearer to the date of the pot which Myres puts (as did Morris) at about 400. Au(abr)
Excavations at Winchester, 1971: tenth and final interim report, part 1
Martin Biddle
96 - 126
The S ditch of the Oram's Arbour enclosure is well dated to mid and later 1st century BC. The Roman South Gate's development has been traced from 1st century AD to 6th/7th century. An intramural road formed part of the 9th-century defence strategy, and a whole late Saxon street is now known to underlie the Norman castle ramparts. The royal chapel was in use c 1070-1130. Two late Roman cemeteries, a small one at Winnall and the large and complex Lankhills site (see abstract 76/3669) are briefly reported.
