Abstract
Percival and Helbæk's archive of plant remains
Wendy J Carruthers
65 - 70
An archive of plant remains from excavations of the 1920s and 1930s all over the world, including many of the classic British sites such as Meare, Fifield Bavant, Hembury, Itford Hill and Maiden Castle, is held in the herbarium at Reading University. A full list of the carbonised and desiccated remains is given. MH
What shall we call these organic pit fills? (A stercoraceous miscellany)
J R A Greig
70 - 73
A discussion of what to call pit fills which, on the basis of their suite of food remains and intestinal parasite eggs, clearly contain human faeces. The history is considered of some of the words which were or are used in this context, and others which might be. Au(adp)
Small-vertebrate and molluscan analysis from the same site
John G Evans
Amanda Rouse
75 - 84
Small-vertebrate and molluscan data from the same two sequences about 55m apart through Neolithic deposits at Maiden Castle, Dorset, are described. The small-vertebrate analysis was done to amplify the molluscan data and extend the spatial range of evidence. The molluscan sequences are matched through their similarities, and the litho-, archaeo- and 14C stratigraphies. The two small-vertebrate sequences match well and it is suggested, due to their fragmentary nature, that the remains are from kestrel predation. There is also evidence for an on-site permanent pond.

101 ways to deal with a dead hedgehog: notes on the preparation of disarticulated skeletons for zoo-archaeological use
Simon J M Davis
Sebastian Payne
95 - 104
Two methods of preparing skeletons are described. After skinning, gutting and defleshing, large animals are buried for two months to two years in nylon mesh bags in leaf mould. Smaller animals are simmered in water for approximately fifteen minutes and then allowed to macerate in warm water with a proteolytic enzyme for one to several days (fish should not be simmered). The resulting disarticulated bones are then thoroughly washed, dried and degreased with acetone or a mixture of methanol and trichloroethane. Au
