Abstract
The grammar of carpentry
Richard Harris
1 - 8
Describes four procedures forming a standard system of construction in most timber-framed buildings in England and Wales from the late Middle Ages onwards. These procedures are: 1) Tie-beam lap-dovetail assembly between tiebeam and wallplate; 2) Bay system (plan and structure); 3) Rules by which the upper face of a bay-dividing frame is placed; 4) Rules by which trees are converted to frames. Examples from Germany and the Low Countries provide a contrast. Au (amp)
Carpenters' marks
S G Wallsgrove
9 - 11
On the methods of cutting identification marks in timber-framed structures, with special reference to Warwickshire. Six types of cut (scribing, chisel-cutting, gouge-stamping, etc) are described and their potential for dating adumbrated.
The archaeological investigation of standing buildings
Iain M Ferris
12 - 17
The Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit's method of recording standing buildings is described and the record sheets illustrated. It is argued that detailed recording by this method would be desirable for all standing buildings of stone or brick, particularly for multi-period structures where each phase can be analysed (see also 90/293).

In defence of selective recording
Robert Meeson
18 - 19
A response to Ferris (see 90/292) argues that minutely detailed recording of unthreatened buildings is inappropriate; instead, interpretative selection of features to record should be used (see also 90/297).
The archaeological investigation of standing buildings: a comment
J T Smith
20
A response to articles by Ferris and by Meeson (see 90/292-3) concurs with Meeson that the advancement of knowledge is better served by selective recording with well-defined aims in mind. Au (amp)
Upstairs or downstairs?
Nat W Alcock
C R J Currie
21 - 23
Examines structural and documentary evidence for the position of the principal chamber in houses of the richer peasantry between the Norman Conquest and the 17th century. It appears that in several parts of S England the chamber was successively on the ground floor, the first floor, the ground floor again, and finally the upper floor again, although those phases were not simultaneous in different areas.
