Abstract
Stone axes of the Channel Islands: Neolithic exchange in an insular context
Mark A Patton
33 - 43
The petrology of 345 stone axes found in various parts of the Channel Islands is examined. A possible production centre at Le Pinacle, Jersey is identified, though the assemblages also include axes produced on the European mainland. The social significance of inter-island and island-mainland interaction is explored with the eastern half of Jersey suggested as the centre of control over the exchange. IH

Samples of skin from the third Lindow body were examined using electron probe x-ray micro-analysis. The ionic composition showed an excess of aluminium, silica and copper, with traces of titanium and zinc. These are interpreted as the residues of clay-based copper and other pigments applied to the body, disputing classical references to woad-painted Britons. Au(adp)
Les poteries fines à cordons: synthèse pétro-archéologique à partir de l'étude de celles du site de Hengistbury Head Synthesis of the petrology of fine corded ware pottery found at Hengistbury Head
Hervé Morzadec
75 - 94
Petro-archaeological and geochemical comparison with similar Armorican material indicates that the fine cordoned wares discovered at Hengistbury Head were manufactured on the gabbro massif of Tregomar, near Lamballe. Two other exported Armorican wares found with them come from the nearby district of St-Cust-St-Briac. Au
Towns and town hierarchies in Saxon England
Grenville G Astill
95 - 117
An assessment of the extent to which archaeological evidence can be used to identify and account for an urban hierarchy in England between the 8th and 11th century AD. Using the later medieval evidence as a control, it is suggested that the archaeological data could be used not only to compare the relative condition of towns but also to reconstruct the general economic trends which may have been responsible for emphasising differences between towns. Despite the apparently rudimentary character of the urban network in the 8th and early 9th century, the strength of the economy may have been underestimated. In contrast development and urban growth in the 10th century may have been overemphasized. Town planning programmes in the south and midlands may have not been accompanied by rapid urban development whereas there is plentiful evidence for town growth in the north. This differential development may be explained by a greater economic vitality in the north which was not experienced in the south until the later 10th century. The later 10th and early 11th century may have marked a period of pronounced and rapid urban growth and differentiation in the south. Au
