Abstract
White Horse Hill
David Miles
Simon Palmer
372 - 378
Optical stimulated luminescence dating suggests that the Uffington White Horse belongs to the late Bronze age and not, as has been suggested, to the reign of King Alfred. White Horse Hill has been a focus for burial and settlement over a considerable time-span, including both Roman and Iron Age periods.
Diary
379 - 380
Items on television's Time Team; Chris Green (new Chief Executive at English Heritage); a newly discovered cave site on the Ardeche, which contains distinctive art forms; recent Treasure Trove valuations, including the Hoxne hoard; obituaries on Ralph Merrifield and Leslie Grinsell; the launch of a new magazine devoted to matters medieval; the twenty-fifth anniversary of the University of Manchester archaeology department, and the 150th anniversary of the St Albans & Hertfordshire Architectural & Archaeological Society.
Pen up your kids!
Gwenno Caffell

Describes some undated goat pens in Snowdonia.
Basing House
D Allen
Alan Turton

Recent research has focused on the archaeology and restoration of the original gardens of the house that was besieged and destroyed during the Civil War. A defensive ringwork bank surrounds the whole site.
Science diary
John Musty
393 - 395
Reports on the discovery of a 4.5 million-year-old hominid; the finding of Mesolithic age footprints in estuarine mud on the Welsh shore of the Severn; a Roman bog-burial from Lincolnshire; argon-argon dating and its use in the provenancing of stone tools; seismic refraction -- a new method of geophysical survey; mercury poisoning; the chemical nature of black inlay decorations; ice cores; recent skeletal finds from China -- possibly European in origin.
Linga Fold
Jane M Downes
396 - 399
The Orkney Barrows Project aims to quantify the scale of damage to the islands' Bronze Age burial mounds and to excavate a whole cemetery as a means of judging the archaeological potential of others by surface survey. This item focuses on the excavation of a cairn cemetery.
Burials at Hereford Cathedral
Ron Shoesmith
Richard Stone
400 - 405
During excavations prior to construction of a building to house the Mappa Mundi, 1,100 burials were discovered, together with 5,000 skeletons in a charnel pit. Some have been radiocarbon dated to AD~700. Other burials date from the fourteenth or fifteenth century. Some evidence for Hereford's Saxon topography was also revealed.
Tower Harratz, Bristol
Reg Jackson
Reports on the excavation of a tower that formed part of the town's medieval defences. The tower, with its impressive stone foundations and clay core (apparently a unique form of construction), was reused in the Civil War.
