Abstract
The West Runton elephant
Trevor M Ashwin
Tony Stuart
164 - 168
Excavation of an elephant of Middle Pleistocene date from an ancient river channel in east Norfolk.
Late Saxon stirrup mounts
David Williams
169 - 171
Collaboration between archaeologists and metal detectorists has produced many examples of this type of find. A corpus of 500 examples is shortly to be published. It is proposed that these devices were decorative and placed at the junction between stirrup and strap so as to prevent wear on the strap leather.
Barking Abbey
Ken J Macgowan
172 - 178
Barking was major nunnery, founded in 666 and surviving albeit in reduced circumstances until the Dissolution. Excavation revealed evidence for the Saxon period of activity. Considerable evidence for spinning and weaving cloth was associated with this phase. The most important structural find of this date was a horizontally mounted wheel which would have driven a mill. A glass kiln was also found. It is suggested that these were not part of the nunnery, but the remains of industries which existed to serve the nunnery.
The Magor Pill boat
Nigel Nayling
180 - 183
Parts of a clinker-built boat, constructed in the thirteenth century, were found in a former channel of the River Severn. The cargo of iron ore and some of the timber may have been salvaged not long after the boat foundered. The wreck was lifted from the estuarine mud and is undergoing further analysis.
Diary
184 - 185
Includes royal assent for the Treasure Act; a Department of National Heritage discussion paper on portable antiquities, and a list of conferences and events.
The oldest bow ... and other objects
Alison Sheridan
188 - 190
Radiocarbon dating of selected artefacts destined for the new Museum of Scotland has revealed that many objects are much older than previously thought.
Leicestershire headlands (or `Leicestershire wiggles' identified)
Stephen G Upex
191 - 193
It is proposed that these earthwork features once thought to have had a prehistoric origin are in fact medieval ploughing ridges or headlands.
Science diary
John Musty
194 - 196
Notes on the technology used to manufacture decorated plate armour; the earliest copper mine in Britain; the ink used to write the Dead Sea scrolls; lead isotope analysis; early animal populations in the Hebrides; the consumption of sea birds; plant evolution; magnetic susceptibility analysis of Roman stone; early adhesives and a boomerang dated to 18,160 BP.
The Defence of Britain
Bernard Lowry
A short statement of the aims of the Defence of Britain Project. The Project aims to record all sites involved in the defence of Britain during the twentieth century, hence it runs from defensive installations constructed prior to the Great War to those built during the Cold War.
