Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Inevitably, each generation gets the archaeology it deserves, because of the overriding power of contemporary attitudes in shaping interpretations. The dynamic nature of systems theory is illustrated with special reference to Danebury hillfort where, since half the area has now been excavated, the database is particularly useful. Changes in subsistence strategy can be traced and the nature of 'special deposits' in used grain-pits is better understood. The importance of prime movers is illustrated: climatic deterioration adversely affected settlement on Dartmoor and other upland areas; population dynamics are important for the study of Roman Britain; and innate human behaviour (genetics) affects expressions of aggression and of conspicuous consumption. |
