Vitreous slag-like material, known as `cramp', from prehistoric cremation burial sites in Orkney is, apart from cremated bone, one of the recurrent remains found within or around Bronze Age burials. Although the suggestion that cramp was formed by the fusing of sand attached to dry seaweed while it was being burnt was first proposed in the 1930s, it is argued that there has never been a consideration of seaweed's contribution to cremation other than as a potential fuel. Scientific analyses presented in the paper corroborate the use of seaweed. It is suggested that cramp may have been deliberately produced to act as an efficient collector of shattered bone which otherwise could have been lost during the cremation, and that far from being a `waste', cramp could well have been another form of `human-remains' in its own right.
Perceiving communities: exchange, landscapes and social networks in the La...

It is argued that, despite the success of the focus of British Iron Age studies on regionality whilst critiquing the hierarchical model of Iron Age society, there has been little detailed replacement of previous social models with an understanding of how Iron Age societies worked. Looking at the Later Iron Age of western Britain, the paper combines examination of the exchange of material culture alongside study of the landscape to explore the nature of Iron Age communities. It is argued that Iron Age societies in the region used material culture to construct and maintain social relationships, while using visual landscape references allowed groups to engage in larger perceived communities.
