Abstract
The North Oxfordshire Grim's Ditch: a fieldwork survey
Tim Copeland
277 - 292
The linear characteristics of the earthwork were examined by air photographs, fieldwork, and documentary evidence. Two phases are inferred: Phase 1 protects about 13km2, Phase 2 about 80km2, both circuits focusing on permanent water sources. Phase 1 was soon backfilled though still remaining prominent. Political and economic rather than military purposes are deduced: the earthworks appear to define the boundaries of an Iron Age community during a time of instability and potential aggression.

Finds reports.
Oxoniensia and the study of early wine-bottles: a new example dated 1659
Martin Biddle
342 - 346
Notes E T Leeds's work in bringing this class of evidence to notice. Typological evolution of the bottles provides useful dating evidence, but their date of introduction, somewhere in 1640s-50s, needs refinement. A fourth dated bottle-seal can now be added to those known for the 1650s: it came from the manor at Hemel Hempstead (Herts) and survives only as a drawing in the Bodleian Library.
