Abstract
Environmental archaeology in the West Midlands -- a review and preview?
Clare Rouffignac, de
3 - 4
Provides an overview of the development of provision for palaeoenvironmental study in the area. Notes a marked tendency for smaller excavations and surveys not to undertake environmental sampling and calls for this to be changed. Increased collaboration between universities and units in environmental research is suggested.
Environmental studies in Alcester
Stephen Cracknell
5 - 8
Begun, in earnest, in the mid-1970s, environmental work has revealed the first RB asparagus, evidence for beetroot, a grain-pest thought to have been introduced in this century but now evinced from RB times, a possible grain house site (also RB), plus a little investigation of post-Roman sites. Future work plans are discussed at moderate length.
The role of environmental sampling in the interpretation of historic gardens
Christopher K Currie
8 - 13
Taking the Leverhulme Garden Archaeology Research Project, set up in 1989 and based at Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens, this article considers how the scope of garden archaeology can be broadened by environmental data to acheive more than the outline of garden plans. `Appendix I' (12) gives examples of selected data, and `Appendix II' (13) illustrates the comparison of intensively cultivated plant beds with non-intensively cultivated garden areas.
The Herefordshire valleys survey -- results and future work
James Dinn
14 - 16
Outlines the problems associated with investigating the archaeology of alluvial river valleys and urges a strategic approach to their management. Also recommends the increased use of GIS to promote the development of the county SMR.
Interim report on a medieval tile kiln at Silver Street, Worcester, HWCM 1281 (SO 85205511)
Hilary White
Duncan H Brown
16 - 23
Published here in advance of the final report, an evaluation prior to development unearthed evidence for a medieval tile industry including an important group of decorated floor tile wasters. A tile-built cellar of the early-mid seventeenth century was found. A tile with Arabic numerals probably dates to the thirteenth or fourteenth century.
The late medieval tiling industry in Worcestershire -- some documentary evidence
Hilary White
23 - 27
Provides evidence for production of tiles, and accounts relating to their purchase. Bias toward later, less common tiles, is acknowledged and attributed to the constraints of document survival. Records relating to Bewdley Chapel, St Katherine's Hospital (Ledbury), along with the surviving wills of tilers in the area, are provided.

Philip J Wise
28 - 30

30 - 33
