Abstract
What future for studying the past?
Sarah Cross May

Pre-medieval landscapes in medieval court romance
Ben A Graves

Examines the appearance in the early phases of Arthurian literature of landscape features recognisable to modern archaeologists as belonging to earlier periods, both historic and prehistoric. The author argues that this is the case principally in those tales derived most closely from Welsh and Breton oral traditions, and postulates the use of a classical-style memory system as a means by which such features may have been preserved in oral tales. Finally it examines the underlying landscape of the tales themselves, with comments on revealed features (frequency and possible origin), comparisons to current interpretations of the past (particularly the Iron Age), and the potential of such 'recovered' literary material for the interpretation and reconstruction of past cultures.
GIS, predictive modelling, erosion, site monitoring

This paper examines predictive modelling of two separate items of archaeological interest. First, the paper examines traditional archaeological predictive modelling of site location using environmental data. A GIS was used to discover areas matching an environmental profile in areas that remain unsurveyed for archaeological resources (Canadian data). The result of this model was a map of archaeological potential for the occurrence of sites in a given area. Second, it looks at the forces of erosion active in an area which works to uncover archaeological sites. Using ArcView, the project modelled the potential for erosion in the study area, based on physiographic information, producing a map of erosion potential. Finally the paper investigates how these two models might be combined into a single model, which can be used to monitor sites which are in danger of being eroded or in areas of high erosion where sites are also likely to occur.
