Abstract
Grave found of one of the first Irish Christians
News of the discovery of a grave on a hilltop near Ballyhaunis (Roscommon/Mayo border) that is aligned east-west in the Christian manner and is radiocarbon dated to the fifth or sixth century AD. Also reports on a theory that the advent of Christianity in Ireland was assisted by a period of climatic extremes brought about by a prolonged meteor shower.
Rethinking the Palaeolithic
Nick Ashton
John McNabb
Argues that the traditionally distinct Clactonian and Acheulian cultures of the British Palaeolithic are in fact contemporary. This view is supported by evidence from recent excavations at High Lodge and Barnham (Suffolk) and Boxgrove (West Sussex).
In brief
Notes on criminal charges faced by two British antiquities dealers, the proposed privatisation of the EH Historic Properties Restoration department, and on the publication of an index of shipwrecks by Lloyds Register.
Defeating the archaeological looters
E P Kelly
Reports on the recent prison sentence handed down to an Irish metal detectorist and discusses the history of ancient monuments legislation in Ireland. The latest legislation, the National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, is thought to provide the necessary muscle for defeating archaeological looters.
Let us restore listing's good name
Richard Morris
Reviews public perceptions of the listing of historic buildings, which is often seen as very bureaucratic. Referring to a proposed Green Paper, it is suggested that this should seek to end the mechanistic application of planning controls and to emphasise the archaeological value of buildings as much as their outward appearance.
Leslie Grinsell
Paul Ashbee
Highlights Grinsell's contribution to the process of recording field monuments, particularly barrows.
The suit shall not contain him
Simon Denison
Kill site found of Palaeolithic hunt
Reports on the discovery made at Church Lamas, Staines (Surrey).
Rubbish in the floods
Stephen H Clarke
Describes the unusual accumulation of domestic and industrial refuse which appears to have been deliberately deposited on the floors of medieval houses in Monmouth. It is thought that this was a response to frequent flooding. The buildup has resulted in some of the best-preserved Norman deposits in Britain, although these are under threat from development.
Rivers `not sacred' in the Bronze Age
Discusses the findings of a recent doctoral thesis, which refutes the assumption that ritual deposition of metalwork was widespread in Bronze Age East Anglia.
Not King Arthur, but King Someone
Christopher D Morris
Summarises the results of recent investigations at Tintagel. Following a major grass fire in 1983, which exposed building foundations and deposits of imported early medieval pottery, excavations revealed evidence of a thriving fifth- to sixth-century settlement and craft centre. It is concluded that the site was of high status, perhaps connected with the rulers of the south-western Kingdom of Dumnonia.
