Abstract
Archaeological prospecting: a progress report
Anthony Clark
297 - 314
Shows how the quality of resistivity surveys may be improved by the use of new probe configurations and consideration of seasonal effects on the detectability of features, and describes the value of the new fluxgate gradiometers for rapid detailed magnetic surveys and for scanning substantial tracts of country. Various methods of survey presentation are illustrated. Au(adp)
Squatting among the Neandertals: a problem in the behavioural interpretation of skeletal morphology
Erik Trinkaus
327 - 351
Articular variations in the lower limbs of Neandertal skeletons support the theory that they were habitual squatters. However, care is needed as similar variations may be due to, eg, high levels of activity.

The origins of mercury gilding
P A Lins
William Oddy
365 - 373
Survey of almost 50 gilded objects in the British Museum revealed that the mercury gilding technique was in common use in China in 3rd century BC, in the Mediterranean by 2nd-3rd centuries AD, and occurs in Britain from 2nd century AD.
Domestication and bone structure in sheep and goats
J P N Watson
375 - 383
Doubt is thrown on claims that bone differences are observable between wild and domestic species. The disparity may be due to differential preservation of collagen, the orientation of whose fibres may be confused with decayed and disorientated mineral crystals. Reference is also made to errors in X-ray diffraction work. Twenty-four thin sections illustrate these points. The humerus and metatarsals of wild sheep and goats are compared with those of tethered domesticated animals, with no conclusive results. The technique may have some use for archaeologists but the differences are less clear than formerly supposed. BW
Problems in the interpretation of microscopic wear patterns: the evidence from bone skates
