A reassessment of the Bronze Age cemetery-barrow on Itford Hill, East Sussex
M Russell
Reviews evidence recovered from the barrow by excavations in 1971 (published in 1972), along with data from other investigations in the vicinity -- notably the `classic' MBA settlement site at Itford Hill, excavated between 1949 and 1953. It is suggested that the apparently unique complexity of the ritual structure is a result of longevity of use. Also considers the significance of the barrow site in relation to the prehistory of south-eastern England.

Billown Neolithic Landscape Project, Isle of Man; Seventh Report: 2002
Timothy C Darvill (Ed.)
Interim report on the seventh season of fieldwork. The overall results of the 2002 season, and the Billown Bronze Age houses and 'shrine' in particular, are considered in the context of comparable evidence from the Isle of Man and further afield, and the aims for the 2003 season are outlined. There are reports on:
2003
Billown Neolithic Landscape Project, Isle of Man, 1995
Timothy C Darvill
Sets out the results of the first season of a fieldwork project aiming to record and interpret the early prehistoric remains in the Billown area in the southern Isle of Man. Reports on site surveys comprise: `Field walking' by Andrew Johnson (12); `Test-pitting' by Timothy Darvill & Miles Russell (12); `Geophysical surveys' by Bronwen Laughlin (12, 14 & 17); and `Topographic survey' by Timothy Darvill, John Gale & Jeff Chartrand (17). Notes on selected finds include: an `Introduction' by Timothy Darvill & Nicola King (29); `The Ronaldsway jars' by Stephen Barrow (29--31); Meso--Neo flints; Bronze Age pottery; `Quartz pebbles' by Damian Evans (37); `Charcoals' by Graeme Dumas (37); and radiocarbon dates. Landscape survey reports cover: `Topographic surveys' by Andrew Fulton, John Gale & Jeff Chartrand (39--40); `Geophysical surveys' by Bronwen Laughlin (41 & 43--4); aerial reconnaissance; and Billown stone circle. Appendix A contains a `Select list of prehistoric radiocarbon dates from the Isle of Man' (52--4).

Artefact studies and analysis associated with these excavations comprise: Early and Middle Neolithic pottery; radiocarbon dates; `White quartz pebbles' by Adam Smith (19--23) -- a discussion of the possible significance of these objects; and `Chemical analyses', by Rob Haslam (23), of deposits from a furnace-like structure. Field survey reports include `Geophysical survey of Land Parcel 6800 (SW)' by Kirsty Lannigan & Bronwen Russell (24 & 27); `Geophysical survey of Land Parcel 0087 (Cross Four Ways)' by Bronwen Russell (27); `Geophysical survey of Land Parcel 0002 (Billown Beg)' by Kirsty Lannigan & Bronwen Russell (27--9); `Magnetic susceptibility surveys' by Spencer Smith (29); and `Fieldwalking in Land Parcel 6800 (SW)' by Damian Evans & Timothy Darvill (29--31). `Environmental sampling in the Billown area' is covered by Keith Wilkinson (34--7). `A survey of the Ballakelly chambered tomb, Santan' is described by John Gale & Timothy Darvill (38--42).
