Abstract
Updating archaeology: the Professional Studies Initiative at York
John Wood
6 - 7
Describes training and refresher courses and workshops for archaeologists and 'heritage managers'. A new postgraduate qualification, an MA in Archaeological Practice, has been set up and another is planned, an MA in Archaeological Heritage Management. Other moves to promote archaeological awareness in other disciplines and in the community are outlined.
A lost building tradition in Norwich
M Atkin
8 - 11
Although timber-framing is often thought of as typically medieval, it is both later and of relatively high-status. Excavations in Norwich have revealed a clay-walled tradition (cob or clay lumps) which was common in 13th to late 15th century Norwich and used in great variety from load-bearing walls to mere packing. Two bad fires in 1507 and a general rise in living standards brought about the demise of the technique in Norwich. See also 89/804 & 89/827.
Know your turf
Richard L Bellhouse
16 - 19
Particle size analysis of the laid turf from the pre-AD 158 rampart at Bowness-on-Solway indicated a marshland source, compared with the evidence from milefortlets of a source on the second terrace of marine alluvium, with repairs and rebuilds in different material. Milefortlets 12, 15, 16, 17 and 20 are all of one build; and much else can be learnt from careful study of rampart material.
Pit technology in the Iron Age
Peter J Reynolds
24 - 26
The smooth walls of the typical pit are produced by the regular stripping-out of the sprouted-grain mat which forms during storage. The Danebury pits hold well over a ton; but it remains impossible to base population estimates on such evidence.
