Archaeomagnetic analyses of six Glozelian ceramic artefacts
Mike Barbetti
137 - 151
An attempt has been made to measure the strength of the geomagnetic field at the time of manufacture of six ceramic artefacts from Glozel. A bisexual figurine appears to have been fabricated from clay without firing, while three other objects have been fired at high temperatures but do not yield precise estimates of the original field strength. Measurements on specimens from two tablets bearing inscriptions in 'Glozelian' writing show that they were last heated and allowed to cool in a magnetic field similar to the present-day geomagnetic field at Glozel. It is suggested that dates between 1500 BC and 1500 AD are unlikely for these tablets. Au(abr) See also 77/4199.
Some observations on puffballs from British archaeological sites

165 - 172
The puffball Bovista nigrescens occurs in four British archaeological sites (Skara Brae, Stanwick, Scole and Vindolanda) and the related Calvatia utriformis also comes from Vindolanda. They do not appear to have arrived by chance and were perhaps collected either for staunching blood or for tinder.
An interpretation of mosses found in recent archaeological excavations
M R D Seaward
D Williams
173 - 177
Mosses discovered in large quantities at Vindolanda and at York were probably harvested for bedding, packing, insulation and so on. The bryophytes also, of course, help in interpreting the contemporary environments.
