Abstract
An episode of prehistoric canopy manipulation at North Gill, North Yorkshire, England
I G Simmons
James B Innes
337 - 341
Fine Resolution Pollen Analysis (FRPA) from this area has allowed an interpretation of a disturbance phase in the forest as being mostly due to the manipulation of the woodland canopy. There was no fire involved and the data suggest that it took place in the context of the Later Mesolithic or Early Neolithic cultures. Brief comparisons with other episodes similarly interpreted are made.
Provenance of coals from Roman sites in U K counties bordering River Severn and its estuary and including Wiltshire
A H V Smith
373 - 389
A survey of investigations into the provenance of coals recovered from Roman sites throughout Britain showed few data from an area of the West Country rich in sites with coal finds. This paper presents the results of analyses of coals from fifteen `new' sites obtained to fill the hiatus together with the results of earlier analyses from seven other sites. The method of age determination using the preserved plant spores which can be isolated from coal is described and the sequence of spore zones based on the known stratigraphic ranges of selected species is figured for that part of the geological succession relevant to the present study.
Calibration and visualization of wall-thickness and porosity distributions of ceramics using x-radiography and image processing
A Pierret
C J Moran
L-M Bresson
419 - 428
Describes a method for acquiring and calibrating digital images from x-radiographs exposed onto standard film. A low-pass filtering technique is used to remove the density information. The resulting image is then calibrated using Lambert's Law of x-ray absorption combined with some simple measurements to produce a sherd thickness map. The filtered density information is then similarly treated to drive a density distribution across the sherd.
Proteinaceous material from potsherds and associated soils
Richard P Evershed
Noreen Tuross
429 - 436
Reports amino acid and protein analyses of a range of archaeological potsherds and associated burial soils.
A new statistical tool for comparing animal bone assemblages
Marta Moreno-García
Clive Orton
D J Rackham
437 - 453
Tests whether the Pie-Slice computer package used for pottery assemblages can be adapted for use with animal bone assemblages. Material from Roman, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval sites in London is compared. Concludes that, provided an appropriate means of quantification is used, the transfer of the approach is valid. There is an `Appendix' (451--3) that defines statistical terms within the text.
