Abstract
Geophysical evidence for fires in antiquity: preliminary results from an experimental study
Neil T Linford
Matthew G Canti
211 - 225
Reports results from a series of experimental fires lit over a range of differing substrates to examine the geophysical response created by the fire and the magnetic enhancement of the underlying soil. Demonstrates that short-term camp fires provide sufficient heat to produce a distinguishable magnetometer anomaly through the production of both a magnetically enhanced ash layer and the thermal alteration of the underlying soil.
Investigation of fire ash residues using mineral magnetism

As part of a wider research programme of experimental archaeology at Calanais Farm, Isle of Lewis, Scotland, a number of experimental hearths were constructed, based on excavated evidence from the Late Iron Age houses at Bostadh, Lewis. Following controlled and repeated burning of different fuel sources, mineral magnetic measurements were taken from the resulting ash samples. These results were compared with measurements taken from Iron Age and medieval ash samples from the multiperiod site of Guinnerso, Lewis. It is suggested that for these archaeological samples the predominant fuel source was well-humified peat.
Aspects of magnetic data processing

Reports a new software package, which has been developed to overcome the problem of `noisy' contributions (such as spikes, stripes and zigzag effects) in magnetic data visualisation.
Research notes: alluvium and geophysical prospection
D Weston
265 - 272
Suggests that fluxgate gradiometry can be used in the alluvial environment. Demonstrates how the results of geophysical surveys are highly variable, as it is often overlooked that the survey results provide other information, most notably of a palaoenvironmental nature. Uses four case studies from the East Midlands to illustrate this point.
