Abstract
Landscape archaeology: of making and seeing
Alexander Gramsch
19 - 38
Attempts to turn from a critique of traditional approaches to settlement archaeology towards a new definition of landscape and a new approach to landscape archaeology. Landscape is defined by its constituents (space, place, and boundary) and it is seen as both a passive resource and an active force structuring perception. Key concepts are therefore experience and perception, or `making and seeing'.
Neolithisation -- a monotonic or catastrophic model for the transition to early farming?
Tsoni Tsonev
87 - 97
Proposes a two component model for description of the underlying mechanisms of the emergence and spread of early farming in Europe. Two basic mechanisms are established: the first, a short-term rapid transition based on internal evolution of late Epi-Mesolithic communities; the second, a stop-start process of diffusion occurring over large areas. Appendices (94--6) discuss mathematical expressions of these concepts.
Of death and debt: a history of the body in Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Yorkshire
Gavin Lucas
99 - 118
Addresses the way in which social identity is articulated through the body at death and linked with gift-giving and tomb architecture. The dynamics of funerary rites are explored, and longer-term changes in the archaeological record are interpreted as modifications to these `everyday' dynamics. Gravegoods, seen as part of the gift-giving network, articulate this process by closing or initiating debts in the course of death which threatens to rupture this network. In a later transformation, however, different practices involving gravegoods serve to marginalise death from strategies for maintenance of social identity.
Towards a chronology of megaliths: understanding monumental time and cultural memory
Cornelius Holtorf
119 - 152
Argues that monuments such as megaliths can be understood in terms of `prospective' and `retrospective memories'. They were originally built to transmit a particular message into the future, but subsequent generations have reinterpreted the monuments and imbued them with their own hopes for the future.
What's in a name? The `Celts' in representations of prehistory in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales
Michael A Morse
305 - 328
Examines the range of presentations of prehistory in museums and heritage centres in the three countries in order to discover the relationship between the word `Celt' and the type of authority invoked to convey that meaning.
Growing grain for others or how to detect surplus production?
C C Bakels
329 - 336
Defines four characteristics indicative of surplus grain production, where: local production is calculated to have exceeded local consumption; monoculture farming was practised; storage capacity exceeded local needs; grain was imported from elsewhere. Examples are drawn from Iron Age farms (Celtic fields) and Roman villas in the Netherlands and comparable regions.
Social analysis of Early Anglo-Saxon inhumation burials: archaeological methodologies
Jeremy W Huggett
337 - 365
Presents a new approach based on a range of stylistic attributes encapsulating a succession of decisions and actions by others concerning the burial of a single individual. The proposed methodology starts with the unit of burial and works outwards in scale to the cemetery and regional level. The similarities and variability in the treatment of age and sex are examined, and data from twelve cemeteries are used.
