Abstract
Experiencing texture and transformation in the British Neolithic
Vicki Cummings
249 - 261
A paper examining evidence for the use of texture in the archaeological record, suggesting texture may have been a fundamental part of the experience of the objects and monuments and may have imparted meanings and messages. It is thought that the transformation of differing textures may have been a crucial metaphor in the Neolithic.
Some remarks on the origin and chronology of halberds in Europe
Thomas X Schumacher
263 - 288
Examines the chronology of the various types of halberd in Europe with particular attention to those from the Iberian Peninsula. An older substrate of halberds is identified which originates in Ireland and Great Britain. From there the design of the Breaghwy type was distributed to the continent, where the idea and the design were soon imitated in the form of the Rouans, Carrapatas and Variant 6 continental types. The success of the idea of the halberd is explained by its high prestige character.
