Describes the plant remains found during the excavation of the site of Staosnaig, which indicate substantial plant use during the Mesolithic. Reports that a very large number of hazelnuts were exploited at this site within a short period of time, together with a substantial quantity of Ranunculus ficaria. Includes radiocarbon dates ranging between 7330--6910 BC and 138--384 AD, although most of the dates establish a Mesolithic context for the site. Supports David Clark's 1976 writings regarding the economic basis of the Mesolithic.

Discusses a study which was conducted on five steers (Bos taurus) raised in an experimental farm. The article suggests that changes to the diet and weaning of the steers was detected in their dentine collagen. Archaeological applications of this study are considered, including determination of the duration of lactation in prehistoric herds and detection of residential mobility in cattle herders.
