Abstract
Training the environmental archaeologist
Geoffrey W Dimbleby
1 - 12
Environmentalists, having urged excavators for years to collect bones, charcoal, seeds etc from their sites, are now embarrassed by the quantity of material needing analysis. Discussed in this address are the three main levels of environmental investigation (identification, evaluation in terms of the particular site, and assessment of implications for environmental knowledge generally); training (various routes), research specialists school qualifications; job prospects; and the value of environmental archaeology as an education.
Rescue archaeology in Sussex, 1976: a third progress report on the Sussex Archaeological Field Unit
1 - 59
The Unit is now operating four research projects within a rescue framework rather than attempting to rescue isolated sites. The Neo-BA research project aims to establish a model of Neo settlement and to examine how, possibly why, this pattern changes in the Bronze Age: excavations were made at Offham Hill causewayed enclosure, the Bullock Down open settlement and the oval mound and round barrow at Slindon. Also on Bullock Down the continuous development of the landscape is under study, and an RB and a medieval site are reported. D J Freke describes the project on origins of Sussex towns including excavations at Seaford, Lewes and Winchelsea. O R Bedwin, researching pre-Roman Iron Age settlement in relation to environment and economy, excavated an occupation site at North Bersted with a round hut and saucepan pottery, and sampled the hillfort on Beacon Hill Harting and the spur dyke at Upper Beeding. Projects outside the main framework were: RB site at Ranscombe Hill; St Thomas' church, Pagham; and a blast furnace and gun-casting pit at Maynard's Gate.
Coinage and currency
Richard Reece
167 - 178
(The first part of the article deals with the distribution of Roman coins in SE Europe. In the second part, the varied evidence on the coinage reforms of Aurelian and Diocletian is brought together in an attempt to construct a consistent picture of monetary events at the end of 3rd century AD.

On a mycoform stone structure in Orkney, and its relevance to possible further interpretations of so-called souterrains
Don R Brothwell
179 - 190
An underground structure is described from the east Mainland of Orkney (Newark Bay). In general morphology it is very similar to some part of the variation seen in stone constructions known generally as souterrains. However, unlike any other, it has a large blocking slab preventing access to the final expanded beehive end of the structure, and the possibility of ritual significance is discussed for this case. Terminology is also considered: 'mycoform structure' appears preferable to earth house and souterrrain. Au(adp)
