Abstract
Later Neolithic woodland regeneration in the long barrow ditch fills of the Avebury area: the molluscan evidence.
Paul Davies
Colleen Wolski
311 - 317
Later prehistory in south-east Scotland: a critical review
Dennis W Harding
355 - 376
This paper reviews the progress of research over the past twenty years, with particular reference to enclosed and unenclosed settlement, agricultural patterns, domestic structural types and building practices of the Iron Age in the south-eastern Borders. The concept of a `trend towards enclosure' in the first millennium BC is reviewed and rejected, not least on the grounds of evidence from excavation for the dating sequences of major enclosure sites. In consequence a new overview is now possible, consistent with the accumulating archaeological and environmental data.
Plated Iron Age coins: official issues or contemporary forgeries?
G L Cottam
377 - 390
Discusses different explanations that have been proposed to account for the existence of plated Iron Age coins, some of which appear to have been struck from the dies used to produce solid metal coins. Evidence occasionally preserved on plated coins proves that at least some of them were struck from dies which had been hubbed from solid metal coins, and it is these solid metal coins that were struck from dies which the plated coins appear to have been produced from. It is argued that this evidence demonstrates that plated Iron Age coins are merely contemporary forgeries.
The first century historians of Roman Britain
Ernest W Black
415 - 428
Argues that the `stratigraphy' of literary sources is a matter that archaeologists need to bear in mind if or when they attempt to employ them in supplementing or interpreting archaeological material. The work of earlier historians is `redeposited' in that of later writers in a great variety of ways and in a variable state of completeness. Suggests that this can be seen in the different treatments by Tacitus and Dio Cassius of the Boudican rebellion, and their use of earlier material revealed in this comparison should alert us to the need for extreme care in assessing events for which only one literary source exists such as the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43.
