Abstract
Preservation of fossil seeds from a 10th century AD cess pit at Coppergate, York

Richard A Hall
929 - 940
Fossilisation processes were investigated in terrestrial archaeological deposits, focusing on the preservation of sub-fossil seeds from a tenth-century cess pit. Flash pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) revealed that the bulk of the assemblage comprises well-preserved organic remains.
Recovery of protein and DNA trapped in stone tool microcracks
O C Shanks
Robson Bonnichsen
Anthony T Vella
Walter Ream
965 - 972
Suggests that microcracks produced during the manufacture of stone tools may harbour ancient biological residues. Attempts to test this hypothesis using light, scanning electron, fluorescence, and confocal microscopy. These experiments appear to suggest that residues trapped in artefact microcracks represent an often overlooked source of ancient DNA and protein.
The Miles method of assessing age from tooth wear revisited
A E W Miles
973 - 982
Suggests that most age-estimation methods tend to underestimate advanced age and consequently life expectancy of populations. Reviews a wide range of published findings based on technique of tooth wear analysis. Reports the revision of the 1989 estimated age-at-death distribution of a skeletal population. Based on tooth wear and tooth loss, the ages of most over fifty years of age were advanced by about fifteen years and reasons are given for regarding four of them as likely to have been over seventy-five years of age.
Bonfire II: the return of pottery firing temperatures
A Livingstone Smith
991 - 1003
Assesses the actual relationships between the firing procedures (structure, fuel, schedule and scale) and some of the firing conditions (time and temperature) of pottery. Characterises the various procedures likely to influence the thermal profile of a firing. Examines the characteristics of the various firing processes in terms of duration, maximum temperature, heating rate and soaking time.
Appendix
1002 - 1003
provides specifications of the 105 pottery firing sessions witnessed during ethnoarchaeological fieldwork
Building past landscape perception with GIS: understanding topographic prominence
Marcos Llobera
1005 - 1014
Illustrates the exploratory use of GIS within the context of landscape research in archaeology. Argues for the use of GIS (and similar cartographic software) to facilitate current theoretical approaches to landscape. Includes a pilot case study of an area in the Yorkshire Wolds, east of Wilton Beacon.
