Abstract
A model of regional archaeological structure
Robert A Foley
1 - 17
Investigates the regional scale of the archaeological record in terms of its ecological basis and its potential for providing spatial information; and develops a model constructed from the proposition that archaeological data relate primarily to long term generalized behavioural characteristics, and that ecological theory may be used to predict their structure. The model should provide a means of extracting information from widespread distributions of surface material. (Primarily for hunter-gatherer and pastoralist societies, and restricted to lithic tools in landscapes with good surface collecting potential.)
Excavations at the Neolithic enclosure on Bury Hill, Houghton, W Sussex 1979
Owen Bedwin
69 - 86
The interior of the 1ha continuously-ditched enclosure was sampled by two cuttings 9m wide which failed to find Neolithic features, though the ditch produced early Neo pottery, flintwork, and animal bone. 14C dates in mid-3rd millennium bc.
Excavations in the prehistoric ritual complex near Milfield, Northumberland
Anthony F Harding
87 - 135
NT 939335 etc. An area about 5km x 4 includes hengiform monuments, pit alignments, standing stones, isolated pits, and linear features, a number of which have been sampled. Pit alignments, one double, were dug in the Late Neo and may form large 'ritual' enclosures. The seven henges vary in size, orientation, and internal arrangement, at least some being used for burials. An 'avenue' passes through one henge. The complex was in use for perhaps 700 years, running through the E.
Pit alignments in the Milfield Basin and the excavation of Ewart 1
Roger F Miket
137 - 146
NT 953320 etc. Several pits in one of the six alignments of the Milfield Complex (see 82/8898) were excavated but gave no evidence for a continuous bank. The provision in each of a broad shelf, and evidence for rapid refilling, suggests the erection of large posts; and numerous sherds of Grooved Ware (Clacton sub-style) were recovered.
A Bronze Age urn cemetery at Kimpton, Hampshire
Maxwell W Dacre
Ann Ellison
147 - 203
[SU 2846] An extensive urn cemetery associated with a complex flint platform included burials of Late Neo to Late Bronze Age date, including Deverel-Rimbury and post-D-R, which were focused on one or more large sarsen stones. The site provides a 1500-year chronological sequence for all Central Wessex barrel urn types and the D-R material has links with Lower Thames Valley in addition. The cremations had been pulverized in all phases, but analysis was able to show a range of age groups and sexes which indicated use of the cemetery by small social groups. Duration c 2100 to c 600 BC; 14C dates. Au(much abr)
The Shaugh Moor project: third report - settlement and environmental investigations
Kenneth Smith
J Coppen
Geoffrey Wainwright
S C Beckett
205 - 273
Work consisted of survey and excavation on the Saddlesborough Main reave and on Wotter Common, which will disappear under china clay tips. Reaves (land boundaries) and house sites were examined, a soil survey was conducted, and pollen analysis of a number of peat deposits undertaken to construct a vegetational history from Early Flandrian onwards. Numerous 14C dates and some artefacts help in interpreting the exploitation patterns from Mesolithic to modern times.
Middle Bronze Age trade between Britain and Europe: a maritime perspective
Keith Muckelroy
275 - 297
The underwater sites at Langdon Bay, Dover and Moor Sand, Salcombe have yielded bronzes which give clear evidence of French imports of scrap metal into Britain. Discusses the implications of this discovery for Bronze Age cross-Channel ships, navigation, and long-distance trade organization.
Double-ring roundhouses, probable and possible, in prehistoric Britain
Graeme Guilbert
299 - 317
Takes stock of some building plans published in the last decade and re-examines some from earlier publications, mostly in southern England. Particular care is needed in interpreting plough-damaged sites, and the term 'ring' should be reserved for archaeologically attested concentric settings of timber or other materials. Some houses previously argued as double-ring structures need caution.
