A GIS-based vegetation map of the world at the last glacial maximum (25,000-15,000 BP)
J M Adams
N Ray
A preliminary, broad-scale vegetation map reconstruction for use by archaeologists and anthropologists is presented here for the world at the Last Glacial Maximum (18,000 BP, but broadly representing the interval from 25,000 to 15,000 BP). The global LGM map was produced from a range of literature and map sources, and drawn on a GIS with topographic information. Extended coastlines due to LGM sea-level drop were obtained using bathymetric information. The map is available in image and Geographic Information System (GIS) formats, on a global or regional basis.Accompanying each regional map is a bibliography detailing the principal literature sources of evidence on Late Quaternary palaeovegetation and climates. The maps presented here are merely a preliminary attempt at appraisal of current knowledge and opinion, and future updated versions are intended as more information on LGM environments becomes available. Nevertheless, together with the accompanying citation summary they should provide a valuable and readily accessible source of information on current opinion in the Quaternary community. It is also hoped that the maps will themselves act as a catalyst for archaeologists to use their own data to contribute to the broader climatic/palaeovegetational picture.

Over 1,700 prehistoric burial sites have been summarised and analysed. They cover a period of c.4,400 years of British prehistory. The article includes a complete database of sites on which the research was based plus a bibliography of over 2,700 references. Both are searchable by the reader.
Preservation of urban archaeological deposits; monitoring and characterisation of archaeological ...
Allan R Hall

John Oxley
An article addressing the fate of urban archaeological deposits preserved in situ as a result of The City of York Council's policy dating from April 1990. Although the concept of preservation in situ has been enshrined in both the IFA Code of Conduct and PPG 16 deposit monitoring presents evidence of changes occurring in these deposits and questions whether this form of preservation is working.
The human remains from HMS Pandora
D P Steptoe
W B Wood
In 1977 the wreck of HMS Pandora (the ship that was sent to re-capture the Bounty mutineers) was discovered off the north coast of Queensland. Since 1983, the Queensland Museum Maritime Archaeology section has carried out systematic excavation of the wreck.During the years 1986 and 1995-1998, more than 200 human bone and bone fragments were recovered. Osteological investigation revealed that this material represented three males. Their ages were estimated at approximately 17 +/-2 years, 22 +/-3 years and 28 +/-4 years, with statures of 168 +/-4cm, 167 +/-4cm, and 166cm +/-3cm respectively. All three individuals were probably Caucasian, although precise determination of ethnicity was not possible. In addition to poor dental hygiene, signs of chronic diseases suggestive of rickets and syphilis were observed. Evidence of spina bifida was seen on one of the skeletons, as were other skeletal anomalies. Various taphonomic processes affecting the remains were also observed and described. Compact bone was observed under the scanning electron microscope and found to be structurally coherent. Profiles of the three skeletons were compared with historical information about the 35 men lost with the ship, but no precise identification could be made. The investigation did not reveal the cause of death. Further research, such as DNA analysis, is being carried out at the time of publication.
