Abstract
Garden archaeology at Kirby Hall and Hampton Court
Brian Dix
292 - 299
Archaeology can play a major role in projects which attempt to restore gardens. Two major projects aimed at returning gardens to the form of Classic gardens of the `Dutch' period at the end of the seventeenth century are reviewed.
Diary
300 - 302
Reports on the fiftieth anniversary celebrations of the CBA, the move of the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England from London to Swindon, the AGM of the Roman Research Trust, English Heritage's MARS (Monuments at Risk Survey) initiative, archaeology on the Internet and the appointment of Clews Everard to the post of general manager at Stonehenge.
The York Archaeological Trust
305 - 312
Profile of the Trust which founded the Jorvik Viking Centre and ARC. Recent events, including the effects of PPG 16 and the economic recession on archaeology and tourism, are reviewed as is the Trust's project to redevelop Barley Hall (a late medieval timber hall house.) The work on project management coordination and the publication of the Jewbury cemetery report are also mentioned. Five YAT projects are then reviewed: Easingwold -- discovering the prehistory of York (occupation of the Vale of York in the IA); The waterfront of York: North Street (early medieval and Roman wharves on the River Ouse); The Hospital of St. Nicholas (excavation of part of a medieval hospital complex); Rescuing a manor-house at Rawcliffe (excavation of an eleventh- and twelfth-century moated site and its thirteenth- to sixteenth- century successor) and Filey (a Roman signal station.)
Science Diary
John Musty
313 - 315
Reports on the earliest hemp fibres known to have been used in Britain (c 800BC), on the launch of a new journal entitled Archaeological Prospection, of a new MSc course on archaeological prospection at the University of Bradford, the Building Conservation Training Centre, wheat beer, the use of arsenic in early copper and bronze artefacts, DNA and its rate of decay, and early evidence for lead pollution.
Scole
322 - 325
Scole is one of the best-excavated Roman small towns in the country. Of interest are the way in which the site is zoned (with clear areas for metalworking, tanning and other activities), a child burial which appears to have been the focus for a cemetery, fourteen wells all built in a relatively sophisticated way, the remains of a water management system with an associated corn drying oven, and remains of grain (taken to indicate a brewery) and a temple.
