Prehistoric string theory.; How twisted fibres helped to shape the world
Karen Hardy
271 - 280
The author reviews the role of string in early human communities, using prehistoric and ethnographic evidence. Fibres, rolled into string, offer a technical means of holding things together; but the process of manufacturing string itself inspired special roles and structures -- which in turn held together the members of communities.
The use of caves for funerary and ritual practices in Neolithic Ireland
Marion A Dowd
305 - 317
The author focuses on the use of caves in Ireland during the Neolithic, carefully isolating the available material and arguing from it that caves then had a primary role in the remembrance of the dead, and were used for excarnation, token deposition or inhumation. The author compares these practices to other contemporary types of burial and concludes that there was a strong symbolic or ritual sense shared in Neolithic Ireland between passage tombs and those certain kinds of cave that they resembled.
Multivallate sites and socio-economic change: Thailand and Britain in their Iron Ages
Dougald J W O'Reilly
377 - 389
The Iron Age in northeastern Thailand is marked by the appearance of multivallate 'moated sites' some of them up to 50ha in extent. Current evidence for their date and function shows them to be contemporary with other developments -- expansion into new agricultural land, increases of ranking in burial and the arrival of regional pottery industries. In interpreting the reasons for these changes, the author draws on analogies from the Bronze/Iron transition in Britain, where forts are also seen as instruments of socio-economic change.

B J Devereux
G S Amable
Peter Crow
470 - 479
The author shows how the LiDAR picture can be enhanced so that features picked up by illumination from different directions can be combined in one comprehensive survey.
Should archaeology be in the service of `popular culture'?; A theoretical and political critique of Cornelius ...
Kristian Kristiansen
488 - 490
The author takes issue with Cornelius Holtorf's vision of a people-driven archaeology, as expressed in From Stonehenge to Las Vegas -- archaeology as popular culture (Walnut Creek (CA): AltaMira 2005) and Archaeology is a brand! The meaning of archaeology in popular culture (Oxford: Archaeopress 2007); with a response by Holtorf (see pages 490--2).

Cornelius Holtorf
490 - 492
Response to Kristian Kristiansen, same issue, pages 488--90.

N James
493 - 496
Review article and critique of the exhibition Rome and the Barbarians: the birth of a new world (Venice, 26 January -- 20 July 2008; Bonn, August -- December 2008), which presents an interpretation of Europe from the late Roman through to the early medieval period.
