Abstract
Some recent archaeological and faunal discoveries from the Severn Estuary Levels
Stephen H R Aldhouse-Green
187 - 199
Records the finding of a partial skeleton of aurochs, and presents results of analyses of pollen and foraminifera. Stray finds include three handaxes and a Levallois flake, a Neo polished axe, two MBA side-looped spearheads, and a shield-pattern palstave. Analysis of the bronze metal assigns the pieces to Acton Park or early Taunton/ Cemmaes phases.
Two Later Bronze Age occupations and an Iron Age channel on the Gwent foreshore
Alasdair W R Whittle
200 - 223
Three sites were excavated in 1986. At Chapeltump site 1 an inner post-ring was seen in the circular structure and the date confirmed as LBA; a short occupation of LBA was found at Cold Harbour; and at Magor Pill a natural channel contained Iron Age pottery. The significance of recent discoveries from the Gwent foreshore for the archaeology of the upper Severn Estuary is briefly discussed. Specialist reports on worked wood, plant remains, pottery.
The tile graffito from Holt Clwyd
G R Stephens

Discussion of the soldier named (Julius Aventinus) and his unit (Prima Sunicorum). Date: not much before AD 235.
Some further coins from the Maesmor/Bryndedwydd hoard of 1863
Glenys Lloyd-Morgan
227 - 229
Metal detector users searching the old find-spot produced twenty-seven more coins.
On some instances of Celtic patterns inscribed on grave-slabs discovered at Carrowntemple, Co Sligo, Ireland
Howard E Kilbride-Jones
230 - 238
Thirteen slabs have patterns which include roundels, interlace, and a Greek design, discussed in terms of the extension of Group B hanging bowl art to the stone medium. Particular attention is paid to the tendency to depict broken spirals. First half of 7th century.
A blue glass squat jar from Dinas Powys, South Wales
Ewan Campbell
239 - 245
Reconsideration of the fragment shows it as one of nine vessels known in England and Norway with rhomboidal trailing, datable to early 7th and usually associated with aristocratic burials in Anglo-Saxon England. It reinforces the evidence for occupation right through to 7th century, and is unlikely to be cullet: hence it supports the attribution of high status to Dinas Powys.
Analyses of a cesspit fill from the Tudor Merchant's House, Tenby, Dyfed
Kenneth Murphy
et 7 alii
246 - 262
The material, well preserved by mineralization in its chemical environment, consisted predominantly of pips and stones from imported fruits; there were also weeds of cultivation, fragments of fabric and sheep's wool, pollen, fly puparia, 15 vertebrate species including fish and rat, parasites, and eggshell. The evidence was also suggestive of brewing, honey?, and cereals.
