Editorial - Fish remains and humankind
Rebecca A Nicholson
Andrew K G Jones
Four papers representing the reports presented to the Fourth meeting of the International Council for Archaeozoology (ICAZ) Fish Remains Working Group, which met at the University of York in 1987. The conference discussed material from many parts of the world and many eras, ranging in date from the early Pleistocene to the 1980s. It demonstrated both the variety of work being carried out and the growing interest in ancient fish remains. The reports demonstrate the effort being made to distinguish between assemblages of fish remains which have been deposited by people and those which occur in ancient deposits as a result of the action of other agents. To investigate this area, experiments with modern material and observations of naturally occurring fish bone assemblages are supplemented with detailed analysis of ancient and modern fish remains. The section includes the following papers. `Some remarks on seasonal dating of fish remains by means of growth ring analysis' by D C Brinkhuizen (http://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue3/brink/index.html) is a critical discussion of an earlier article in which attention was drawn to the possibility of seasonal dating excavated fish remains by means of reading growth rings. `Pike (Esox lucius) in late medieval culture: from illiterate empiricism to literate traditions' by Richard C Hoffmann (http://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue3/hoffmann/index.html) considers the attention medieval Europeans gave to the capture and culture of this species, revealed in different ways by extant written records. And finally, `A simple machine for bulk processing sediments' by David J Ward (http://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue3/ward/index.html) in which a machine for bulk processing wet and dry matrix for the extraction of fish bone is described. Other current methods of sediment processing are also briefly reviewed.
Review of FieldWorker Advanced 2.3.5 and FieldWorker Pro 0.91 GPS software
Nick Ryan
Jason Pascoe
David Morse
Reviews a data collection tool that combines general purpose recording forms and GPS data logging on the Newton MessagePad range of hand--held computers. FieldWorker is produced in three forms, Basic, Advanced and Pro. The reviewers tested the current release (2.3.5) of the Advanced version, and also examined a pre--release (0.91) of the Pro version.

Céramique en pays sereer et tumulus sénégambiens
Stephane Pradines
The number of tumuli made of earth or sand in Senegal comes to 6,868, spread across 1444 sites. To this can be added the 3448 tumuli of the megalithic type, and 903 more tumuli made of shells.This large distribution does not constitute an homogenous phenomenon. The 14C dates gathered from the excavated sites in Sine and Saloum, or in the middle Senegal valley, do not show chronological opposition. According to the the present state of the research, the Senegambian tumuli are dated from the first two millennia of our era - more precisely from the Fourth until Twentieth centuries AD. Thanks to historical accounts we know that the Sereer have built up burial tumuli in this region since at least the 16th century.Knowledge of the Senegambian tumuli is very limited. Anthropology and history may help us to pose certain questions. This study is the first stage of a differentiation of ceramic cultures between the ethnic groups which inhabited Senegambia. The Sine and Saloum seems to be a key sector in the understanding of the phenomenon of the Senegambian tumuli.This paper is in French only.
Some remarks on seasonal dating of fish remains by means of growth analysis
D C Brinkhuizen
A critical discussion is presented of an article by Casteel published in 1972, in which attention was drawn to the possibility of seasonal dating excavated fish remains by means of reading growth rings. This article has been referred to by many archaeozoologists. However, there are methodological misconceptions which undermine the conclusions drawn by Casteel in his publication. As the problem arises from a failure to set parameters before carrying out the growth ring analysis, some discussion of problems in both interpretation and observation is presented here.
Cranial osteology of the redear sunfish; examples from the American Midwest
Mona L Colburn
Cranial elements of modern redear sunfish (Lepomis microlophus) were examined for characteristics that distinguish it from other species of sunfish (Lepomis spp.). Distinctive elements include the lower and upper pharyngeal arches, the parasphenoid, the basioccipital, and the prootics. These elements were used to identify archaeological specimens from the fill of an Emergent Mississippian pit house at the Range site in St Clair County, Illinois, as remains of redear. The finding of this species in an archaeological assemblage appears to be of some significance because the native distribution of the redear lies south of the Range site location and because some sources state that the redear was introduced to Illinois in the 1900s.An extended version of the paper was published as the following: Mona L. Colburn, Lucretia Kelly and Julianne Snider, 1991 "Redear Sunfish in the Late Holocene of Illinois" in James R. Purdue, Walter E. Klippel and Bonnie W. Styles (eds). Beamers, Bobwhites, and Blue-Points: Tributes to the Career of Paul W. Parmalee. Illinois State Museum Scientific Papers, Vol.23, Springfield, and The University of Tennessee, Department of Anthropology Report of Investigations, No. 52, Knoxville.

Pike (Esox lucius) in late medieval culture; from illiterate empiricism to literate traditions
Richard C Hoffman
Remains of Esox lucius (pike) are familiar to archaeologists working on medieval European sites, but the attention medieval Europeans gave to the capture and culture of this species is revealed in different ways by extant written records. Until the fourteenth century chance references by the literate minority suggest something of how the then-illiterate majority had learned to obtain pike. Widening of practical literacy during the later Middle Ages resulted in intentional written compilations of this information. The kinds, purposes and contents of the texts changed. By the sixteenth century a body of European knowledge about catching and rearing pike had become part of a cumulative literate culture.
