Abstract
Reflections on the cultural context and function of the West Wansdyke
M Lord of Beaulieu, Montagu
2 - 5
Consideration of the historical records and of theoretical territories leads to the suggestion that Wansdyke filled a boundary function, with only a quasi-military role based on the hillforts of Stantonbury and Maes Knoll. It appears to mark the NE edge of a cultural and economic zone of SW England that was in touch with Mediterranean trade. Areas for further research are outlined (see also 90/1541).
West Wansdyke: recent archaeological research and future prospects
Rob Iles
6 - 10
Deep concern about continued damage to the earthwork prompted a detailed survey which would help raise local awareness of its importance. (A touring exhibition and an opera for schools formed part of the publicity campaign.) Some of the gaps in the Dyke may, as a last resort, need excavation to determine their nature. Questions still needing solution relate to its date, construction methods, environment, and relationships with other features such as the two hillforts. Management proposals have been drawn up to help resist further degradation (see also 90/1549).

The North Almshouse at Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol: excavations 1975-8
James Russell
14 - 25
Limited excavations revealed a solidly-built almshouse of the 1460s, cut back deep into a damp and sunless hillside. Internal arrangements are little known and the floors were kept too clean to yield many artefacts, although occupation material did accumulate from 18th century onwards. In early 19th, eight houses for the poor were constructed in the gutted shell of the almshouse.

Looking for history in the mud
Ken Stuckey
38 - 40
Work on the Severn Channel mudflats has intensified owing to the threatened building of a Severn Barrage. Off Kingston Seymour are numerous lines of fishing net stakes, one U-shaped with open end to seaward. Jane Evans provides documentary evidence for coastal fish-weirs, some at least being for the main 19th-century catch of sprats, and others for shrimps.

Celebrates the life and work of the last of Wheeler's foremen, a self-taught archaeologist and historian, excavator of the Nettleton Shrub RB temple. He also transcribed the Skinner manuscripts (early 19th century) though these remain unpublished.
