Projecting empire: the mapping of Roman Britain
Richard Hingley
328 - 353
Article reviewing the mapping of Roman Britain, from Roman antiquity to the contemporary age. By reviewing the classical mapping of the British Isles and three particular examples of cartographic representation produced during early modern and modern times, it is argued that the Roman past of Britain has been made to perform particular roles with regard to the creation of early modern and modern imperial discourse, and that, by generating a Roman ancestry for English civilization, the evidence derived from the classical past was used to provide intellectual justification for the colonization of territories abroad, in Ireland, Scotland and the New World. The author contends that recent examples of mapping do not challenge the terms through which these ideas of imperial inheritance were defined, but that alternative approaches to mapping in the future may seek to communicate different ideas about the relevance and character of Britannia.

A division of labour between sexes/genders in which, although there is some overlap, men hunt large game and women collect smaller game, shellfish and most plant foods, is a characteristic of all documented hunter-gatherer societies. The authors argue that there is no biological reason for this behaviour and that it must be a social construct, and that these gender roles became part of the structure of societies at the same time as other forms of symbolic behaviour associated with anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens). The colonisation of Australia is given as an example of the relevance of established gender roles to the exploitation of a completely new environment.
An archaeology of the instant?; Action and narrative in microscopic archaeological...
Michael Haslam
402 - 424
An approach to the interpretation of microscopic residues on stone artefacts is proposed that draws on notions of narrative, scale, action and agency as one means of expanding the theoretical scope and application of residue studies. It is suggested that the individual resonance of the findings of residue analyses with people in the present day can be used to provide a more nuanced understanding of past actions, which in turn allows both better integration and communication of those findings within and outside the archaeological community, and begins to overcome the problems associated with the typically small sample sizes analysed in stone-tool residue studies.
